From a non-US person, the whole Bounty system, now that is where things truly hit the Blade-Runner-esque dystopia level.

- beerandt 6y ago3rd party bounty hunters are a pretty rare thing. Most of the time it's the same bail bondsman who facilitates a suspects release that comes looking, since the bondsman doesn't get their money back from the court until the suspect shows. Which is the whole point. And that bondsman likely required the suspect to list and confirm the name, address, and phone number of every family member, employer, and close contact they have. Probably 95% of cases are the bondsman just calling the suspect's family to get them to encourage compliance. An angry moma is going to be more effective than any manhunt.
