Dog, The Bounty Hunter
lokki:
the way it works (pretty much). Is that the Judge will let you out of jail if you deposit a bond (lets say $20,000) that you will get back when you go back to court.
If you do not have the money you can pay a bail bonds man (usually 10% $2,000), and they will deposit the bond.
when you appear in court the bail is returned.
if you do not return to court the bail bondsman is out of the full bail. And they will pay Bounty hounters to track you down and put you back in jail so that they can get their money back.

and generally if you fail to appear (jump bail) and the bounty hunter returns you to custody of the court,recovering the bail the bondsman put up, you forfeit the 10% you put up. I also think they generally keep a portion of the 10% even if you do show up for court...
horseboy:
Many bail bondsmen act as their own bounty hunter. This is the case with Dog. I am sure, though that he takes bounty jobs for other bondsmen as well.

the 10% fee is usually the fee for the Bondsman, You do not recover that. even if you do show up for court.
