And what happens the first time the bounty hunter makes a
wrong identification? When a cop detains the wrong person,
there are procedures to handle grievances.
The bail bondsman will usually, as a matter of policy, have detailed info on the
"customer" including photos, prior arrests snd convictions, and the contact
info of a relative/spouse/etc.
This makes errors less likely, but they are still far from impossible.
Outlawing bounty hunting, or making it unfeasable by steep requirements of
conduct and supervision, would make the bail loan business unfeasable and
that would mean thoose, who have nothing that will make them come back
that they can turn in (the original idea of a bail) would have to wait in
jail for their trial.
Seems more sensible then having civilian play cops and robbers with each
other.
