- *******************************************************************************
-
- Regarding our authority to apprehend bail-secured
fugitives: a bail bondsman has the established legal right to arrest
and reincarcerate any client of his (that he has bailed out of jail)
if they have broken any part of their agreement (contract), not
showing up for court is ALWAYS a part of that agreement. This was
established by the Supreme Court in 1873 in, the now famous case,
Taylor vs. Taintor
-
- The bail bondsman may, through a power of attorney,
assign this power to another person for the purposes of enforcing
this contract. Through this assignment of his power to a bail
enforcement agent, we derive the same authority over the defendant.
Some sates have limited the scope of who may receive this authority
by requiring licensing or registration with the state. Each state
regulates bail enforcement differently; some state have outlawed the
bail bond industry- WI, OR, IL and KY, about 22 states require
licensing and the remainder of the states do not regulate the
industry at all.
-
- MA does not require or issue licenses or even
regulate the bail recovery industry. Badges are available via many
online equipment suppliers.
