HOW MUCH MONEY CAN A BAIL BONDSMAN MAKE is wholly contingent upon a rather protracted set of circumstances rooted in the past, existing in the present, and potentially coming to pass in the future. Stated differently, this is not a question that can be honestly answered by anyone due to the expansive set of variables involved in bail bond underwriting.
One thing is certain, however, with high-gain comes high-risk to the extent that a bail bondsman who gets people out of jail is guaranteeing the appearance of the accused to be present at all court ordered hearings, trial, and, if necessary, to be turned over the California Department of Corrections.
Bail bondsmen do not make money hunting bail bond fugitives; bail bondsmen make money getting people out of jail. Bounty hunters make money helping wayward bail bond clients back to have dinner with their sheriffs, lunch with their judges, and, if applicable, three squares a day, stimulating conversation, and some quality time with a warden’s corrections staff.
To these ends, not all bail bond fugitives are so quick to protect the monies and properties put up as collateral by their loved ones as security on a bail bond contract by self-surrendering or “going in quietly.” It takes a special kind of hunter to make this happen with such ornery folks.
The only hunting I have ever known is the hunting of men and women with an emphasis on those looking at 25-to-Life under California’s “3 Strikes Law.”
The interesting thing about very literally hunting humans is that humans can very quickly make “the hunter the hunted.” Humans are unlike any other type of quarry; they are capable of shooting back, may run in packs that shoot back, and are undoubtedly “The Most Dangerous Game.”
A good bounty hunter or team of bounty hunters can help a bail bond agency make loads of cash if the bail bondsmen involved are confident in “taking chances” on risky bonds, but such chances come with the historical fact that proper, timely, and relevant bail education really does matter in order to keep all parties involved out of the hospital, ICU, criminal court, civil court, bankruptcy court, and even the county morgues.
BAILSPEAK is a California Department of Insurance Approved Bail Education School with instructors who are on the front lines posting bonds in the jails, legally hunting people on the lesser known mean streets of California, legally jousting with lawyers before judges in the California Superior Courts, and in classrooms from Sacramento to San Diego and many counties in-between and that are intentionally kept small in the best interests of those students in attendance.
