5. It varies in every state but when you post a bond

You sign a contract that allows the agents of the bail bondsman a great bit of latitude in searching for you, including in many states the ability to take you into custody, serve a warrant for your arrest, enter and search your residence and property and many other things.

It can vary greatly from state to state what is allowed.

The contracts generally also release the bail bondsman and their agents from liability for any harm that comes to you or your property if they have to come for you. Break the door to your residence down? You signed a paper saying they could and then walk away with your home unsecured if you as didn't show for court dates.

And if you post bond for someone else the contract will generally require you to pay the full amount of the bond if they abscond and also be responsible for any and all expenses related to the recovery. So the scumbag bounty hunters will often run up huge expense accounts dining and staying in first class lodging on a hunt when they know they will get their fugitive and then make the person who posted the bond pay.
