"Now is the time for all good Men..."

Someone would have to get all the legal red tape out of the way first. Who would you be working for? The state? if so are they going to Deputize anyone willing to do this? Who would pay the bill? Are you paid a salary or commission? Alot of questions have to answered and cleared before anything could even get started. These few questions open up dozens more I will not even post but, dealing with the Government that is usually what happens.

Or is this done as a private entity? If it is private what authority would you be working under? Taylor Vs Taintor would not work unless you were contracted by a surety. This also opens up a lot more questions that need to be answered before anyone could even start to think about doing this.

First of all, a listing of surety agents is needed and/or a listing of their respective insurance companies. Then someone or some parties would have to make the contacts and work out an agreement though I'm sure the surety agents will give priority to their in-house people.

Then, of course, you have the legalities in regards to licensing, etc.

Its always been my experience that surety people tend to contract with people they know who are tried and true through the years. Our bondspeople get resumes and various inquiries all the time but they just toss them in the trash. Why would a surety engage the services of a stranger when they have their own BEA's? I've been with one of the bondsmen here for over 20 years... I've watched their kids grow, gone to graduations, birthday parties, weddings, et al. His father left me and my son a lot of money when he died. Another one I've been with for 13 years, since they started. So-called 'bounty hunters' have called them and trashed my name and made all sorts of accusations but all they accomplished is never getting any work from those bondspeople even if I dropped dead this second. This is what I mean when I say 'in-house' people. I'm sure there are many more BEA's with similar situations as mine.

Just my two cents worth.
