El Cid   193 #2 Posted October 28, 2017 In the USA most bounty hunters are employed by bail bondsmen: the bounty hunter is usually paid about 10% of the total bail amount, but this commission can vary on an individual, case-by-case basis; usually depending upon the difficulty level of the assignment and the approach used to exonerate the bail bond.  Not very much detail on how it will work in the UK; headlines about privatising the Police Force will not look good.

Dimple   10 #3 Posted October 28, 2017 Barmy idea. G4S are a bloody joke as it is, to even think about giving these tools power of arrest is just insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â I do too, however just look how the courts, have turned bailiffs over to the private sector. it seems no-one has battered an eye. I guess it depends who the enforsement is being put on.

Staunton   17 #8 Posted October 29, 2017 G4S being awarded the power to make arrests?  Would that be the same G4S that runs private prisons (very badly)?  No conflict of interest there then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
