BAIL EDUCATION TRAINING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Q: How long has Bailspeak been around, who runs Bailspeak?

 

A:  From Northern California to Southern California, this California Department of Insurance Approved Bail Education Training School Leads the Way by Continuously resetting previously exceeded standards that then helps people who are working towards becoming posting bail agents, bail company employees, or fugitive recovery agents who practice the bounty hunting arts for the purposes of bail enforcement; indeed, Bailspeak's Founder and Primary Instructor, Rex Venator, combined Military and Civilian Law Enforcement and in Combination with Extensive Bail Bond, Bounty Hunting and Bail Education Experience as follows: Bounty Hunting Since 1992, Bail Education Since 1994, Bail Agency Owner Since 1997, CDI Approved Bail Education Since 2007.

 

 

Q: Is Bailspeak "Approved" for 20-Hours of Bail Agent Pre-Licensing by the California Department of Insurance?

 

A: Yes. Bailspeak is an "Approved" Bail Education Provider with DOI "Approved" courses that are primarily instructed by a veteran Bail Bond Company owner; moreover, any person wishing to secure bail agent pre-licensing for the purpose of learning how to become a licensed bail agent should conduct due diligence to be sure that so-called instructors purporting or otherwise portraying themselves to be licensed bail agents are either bail agents in good standing or, at the very least, had been licensed bail agents and, at some point, those instructing should have experience actually running a bail bond company; indeed, it does not stand to reason to learn how to become a bondsman from someone who has never actually run a bail bond company—legally.

Q: What about California Bail Agent Continuing Bail Education?

 

A: Bailspeak is also “Approved” by the California Department of Insurance in offering a variety of Continuing Bail Education classes that are current, timely and matter in today’s bail bond industry.

 

Q: How do I get started, or how do I become a bounty hunter?

 

A: "How to get started in bounty hunting, or bail enforcement, is the most oft asked question that I receive via telephone, cellular phone, email and in person.

 

A single answer to the question does not exist, in my opinion, and, in point of fact, there is no simple way to convey the incalculable number of questions and answers necessary to negotiate the multitude of sub topics on the subject.

 

The laws that govern bounty hunting may or may not intertwine to form a labyrinth of study to be followed by studying published case cites and then discovering how it all applies to the streets.

 

It would be inescapably necessary to discuss the importance of physical fitness, one’s psychological ability to negotiate confrontation safely and legally, training, certification, licensing, investigations, sales, marketing, understanding the bail bond company owner’s goals, objectives and the many ways deals can go bad.

 

One can rest assured; it could easily take years learning and becoming accomplished in just one of the aforementioned disciplines!" ~ Rex Venator, 2004

 

Q:How do I find bail jumpers as a fugitive recovery agent; what does it take to practice bounty hunting as a bail enforcement agent?

 

A: STREET PROVEN bounty hunters display certain sets of intransigent behaviors that most people cannot connect to and therefore do not perceive as virtues but are, nevertheless, inescapably inherent with every accomplished bounty hunter that I have personally met who presents as having a future in bounty hunting.

 

It is quite a thing to very literally hunt a human being who has chosen to ignore judicial orders and jump bail irrespective of the bail jumpers charges; indeed, like a police car stop, there is no such thing as a “routine” bail fugitive apprehension; accordingly, there is an imperative to practice what law enforcement personnel call “officer safety,” and bounty hunters tracking wanted felony fugitives call it “agent safety” with the emphasis on going home safely to get paid safely.

 

Apart from confronting a bail fugitive and potentially lethal third party bandit who is hidden or openly loitering in the arrest location and who each know that that a bail apprehension could result in a third strike sentence of 25 to life, bounty hunters must first find the bail jumping fugitive.

 

Q: What does it take to find a bail fugitive who has skipped bail on a misdemeanor or felony case?

 

Plainly stated, a new bounty hunter MUST FIRST find a bail bond agency owner or corporate officer who will award the new bounty hunter a bail enforcement contract. In other words, a new bounty hunter must bounty hunt clients for that one person who will present the opportunity to the new bounty hunter to prove his or herself; however, this point brings us back to the “certain sets of intransigent behaviors” generally found to be disagreeable to “normal people” who would never dream of bounty hunting or do dream and can’t because of natural personality barriers that are inconsistent with closing fugitive recovery contracts.

 

a.      A successful bounty hunter is skilled in looking beyond what is plainly presented in favor of trying to look through the obvious to what is either hidden by deception, misdirection, physical objects or even in plain sight.

b.     A successful bounty hunter is skilled at discovering seemingly inconsequential details while, at the same time, having the patience to stop, step back and look at the “big picture” to “connect the dots” and all of which may very well make a path shrouded in darkness become visible as if on a summer day at high noon.

c.      A successful bounty can confront obstacles and people without an obvious confrontation but is confronting if necessary to light that darkened path.

d.     A successful bounty hunter is audacious but not always disliked because of hidden audacity.

 

Finally, in the interest of brevity, a successful bounty hunter simply will not give up even when submitting to circumstance out of frustration or lack of emotional or financial support from family and friends; a real bounty hunter cannot give up; it simply isn’t a virtue—to give up.

 

What are prospective bail bond clients looking for in a new bounty hunter?

 

The answer is a personal one and shall be left in your capable discretion ~ Stay Safe & Watch Your Six.

 

Q: Can bounty hunters carry guns?

 

A: This Office receives approximately 850 calls weekly, and a notable percentage of these calls are in relation to bounty hunters and firearms.

 

The short answer is "yes, no and maybe." This answer tends to frustrate people, but there are literally hundreds of variables that must be calculated and confirmed before making the very serious decision to carry a gun while bounty hunting wanted felony fugitives in California.

In point of fact, it isn't possible to answer the question without hours and hours of classroom instruction in a variety of areas, and this question cannot be reasonably answered by a simple telephone call.

 

Q: I can't find a job in law enforcement. Is the bail bonds industry or bounty hunting business right for me?

 

A: The facts are these: federal, state, and local governments are suffering from harsh economic realities and billions in unfunded liabilities, notwithstanding causation for the purpose of the points raised heretofore.

 

This office receives hundreds of weekly calls, and a percentage of the callers are either men or women who are seeking jobs in law enforcement, who have graduated from a P.O.S.T. academy and can’t find police or sheriff’s agencies that are hiring, who are former peace officers who have been laid off, or are ex-cops for other reasons.

 

Unfortunately many of these perfectly employable men and women are overspecialized to the extent that some have spent years on education and subsequently acquired work experience that isn’t always conducive to civilian jobs in the private sector. Perhaps it is time to do your own research into the bail bonds industry?

 

You may be able to find work as a bounty hunter or employee of a bail bonds company.

 

You may be able to start your own bail bond company, but you won’t know if you don’t at least look into bail as a source of saving or creating your own job.

 

Q: I would like more information about how to get into bail bonds or bounty hunting. How should I proceed from here?

 

A: Spend some time on this and its sister websites. Click on photos that pull up videos. You should feel free to ring the Bailspeak Registrar for more information about how to enroll for class, but technical questions about lawful bounty hunting and bail transactions are covered in classes that intentionally kept small insofar that questions may be asked and answered.

 

Q: Does Bailspeak offer any “group discount” or discounts for membership in a union or military discounts?

 

A: NO.  Discounting bail education tuition is specifically against the lawand could result in revocation of Bailspeak’s bail education provider approval.  A synopsis concerning the laws on this question and answer is as follows:

 

California Code of Regulations Title 10 Investment Chapter 5 Insurance Subchapter 1 Production of Insurance Article 2.1 Bail Education

 

10 CCR §2105.3 (e) (4)

 

A course fee schedule may not have the effect of discriminating in the amount of course fees based solely on membership or lack of membership in any group or association, including employment by any employer.

 

10 CCR §2105.3 (e) (5)

 

No person may purchase from a provider the right to enroll a student in a course and sell that right to a student for more or less that the person paid the provider. No person may sell to a student the right to enroll in a course, or enroll a student in a course, and charge that student more or less than the person paid or will pay for the course.

Q: I was approached by a bounty hunter who I later learned is not a licensed bail agent. The bounty hunter states that he has a long history of drafting bail bond motions, appearing in court, and even giving legal advice about bail bond law and motion. It all sounds really good. Should I hire the bounty hunter instead of those very expensive bail attorneys?

 

A: See the Following Opinion Editorial—Caveat Emptor.

 

Can Independent Bounty Hunter Contractors who are not Licensed Bail Agents Draft and Appear on a Bail Bond Motion for Sole Proprietorships or Bail Bond Corporations?

 

Opinion Editorial & Analysis

 

By Bailspeak’s Primary Bail Education Instructor, Rex Venator

 

The following is based on my personal, layman’s opinion as a private citizen who is simply observing his civic duty.

 

I thought to follow up and add that the prior email on bounty hunters drafting moving papers and appearing in court for a bail bond surety isn’t applicable, in my personal opinion, with a licensed bail agent, appointed as an agent by the real party in interest bail bond surety moving a court, drafting and appearing under penal code law—so long as the bail agent is appearing for a sole proprietorship and not a bail bond corporation.

 

It is my personal, layman’s opinion that Penal Code §1305 subsection j does allow for “the bail agent” to draft and appear for an unincorporated bail bond company when he or she is appointed by the surety upon which the bond was written.

 

It is my personal, layman’s opinion that Penal Code §1305 subsection j carries greater weight and is deemed controlling over Business and Professions §6125 for the purposes of bail agents drafting and appearing on instant, civil matters injected into an existing criminal matter before a superior court.

 

There are published case cites, however, where the Civil Code of Procedures has sections that are controlling over certain Penal Code, bail related sections, but, for the purposes of this personal opinion analysis, bounty hunters who are not licensed bail agents and appointed by the surety do not have standing under Penal Code §1305 subsection j to draft and appear in superior court and are subject to Business and Professions §6125 penalty—in my personal, layman’s opinion.

 

It is my personal, layman’s opinion that the curiously lamented reference to an obscure California Civil Code of Procedure section that allows for a bounty hunter “surety insurer” to draft and appear in court is seriously flawed and fatal to any bounty hunter’s argument to the extent that Civil Code of Procedure 995.120 subsection a and b defines a “surety insurer” in part as follows: “‘Admitted surety insurer’ means a corporate insurer or a reciprocal or interinsurance exchange to which the Insurance Commissioner has issued a certificate of authority to transact surety insurance in this state, as defined in Section 105 of the Insurance Code,” “For the purpose of application of this chapter to a bond given pursuant to any statute of this state, the phrases ‘admitted surety insurer,’ ‘authorized surety company,’ ‘bonding company,’ ‘corporate surety,’ and comparable phrases used in the statute mean "admitted surety insurer" as defined in this section.”

 

Whereas, it is my personal, layman’s position that a bounty hunter appearing for a bail bond company as an independent contractor is, arguably, not drafting and appearing as an agent for the surety in any capacity and in such instances the matter in question then defaults to Business and Professions §6125 primarily because one well established structure of bail agents appearing for their own non-incorporated bail companies in superior courts reverts to another dictum based structure where, plainly stated, a private citizen—not even a corporate officer of the surety, which is also not applicable for the purposes of this personal, layman’s analysis—is somehow not even appearing in propria persona for the corporation and is likened to any person simply walking in off the street not to self-represent but to represent an entity that he or she isn’t even a corporate officer or shareholder of and all of which is because the bounty hunter is not a licensed bail agent who is appointed as an agent for any surety.

 

Consequently and in my personal, layman’s opinion, judicial action predicated on the unlicensed practice of law subjects the victims of a crime to collateral attack by county governments insofar that previously granted bail bond motions may be reversed at any time, thus causing the potentiality of tremendous harm to the parties of a private civil bail bond contract specifically and the California Bail Industry generally once a court loses jurisdictions to even consider repairing the damage irrespective of remedies buried in ancillary codes.

 

Furthermore, while California Penal Code §1305 subsection j allows for a surety appointed bail agent licensed by the California Department of Insurance to draft and appear for an unincorporated bail agency, there is no known statutory allowance for a corporate surety to unilaterally circumvent numerous related sections and in numerous applicable California Codes by summarily authorizing a common bounty hunter to practice law for a corporation—in my personal, layman’s opinion.

 

The civil and criminal liability may be further compounded, apart from a the unlawful practice of law by a common bounty hunter, if facts-in-evidence reveal that an attorney for a corporation, who is a lawyer, authorized the unlawful practice of law since exceptions may not be controlling over other California Codes—in my personal opinion.

 

In addition to the above paragraph, it may be a misdemeanor crime for any person to intentionally deceive or collude to deceive a court or any party by making oral arguments under Oath or by submitting any document that causes a court or person to believe that a common bounty hunter may practice law separate and apart from established law to the extent that any attorney who provides such evidence or document or opinion may knowingly be faced with a criminal charge, fine and, possibly, disbarment.

 

To be succinct in the interest of brevity, in my personal, layman’s opinion, a bounty hunter working as an independent contractor for a bail bond company is disallowed to appear under Penal law; moreover, Civil Code of Procedures does not apply because in the absence of Penal law applications the bounty hunter is then personally appearing for an incorporated surety where, arguably, said bounty hunter is engaging in the “unlicensed practice of law;” indeed, a corporation is not a natural person and cannot appear in propria persona; it can only appear through counsel with the exception of sending a corporate representative to small claims under Code of Civil Procedure section 116.510.

Thus California today defines law practice as providing “legal advice and legal instrument and contract preparation, whether or not these subjects were rendered in the course of litigation.” Birbower, Montalban, Condo & Frank, P.C. v Superior Court., supra, at 128. Providing legal advice or service is a violation of the State Bar Act if done by an unlicensed person, even if the advice or service does not relate to any matter pending before a court. (Mickel v. Murphy (1957) 147 Cal.App.2d 718, 721.)

 

The lead case on this is Paradise v. Nowlin (1948) 86 Cal.App.2d 897. Subsequent cases have affirmed its holding that corporations cannot appear pro per for three distinct reasons: (1) any representative sent on behalf of the corporation would be engaged in the unauthorized practice of law; (2) the rule ensures that qualified professionals will appear in court, thereby increasing the efficient and proper administration of justice; and (3) the distinction helps to maintain the wall between the corporation as an entity and its individuals shareholders, directors, and officers. (Id.; see also CLD Construction, Inc. v. City of San Ramon (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 765, 773.)

 

A corporation is not a natural person, and therefore cannot appear in an action in propria persona. It can appear only through counsel. (Merco Construction Engineers, Inc. v. Mun.Ct. (Sully Miller Contracting Co.) (1978) 21 Cal.3d 724, 731.) This prohibition stems from the notion a corporate representative who would likely appear on behalf of the corporation would be engaged in the unlicensed practice of law. (Gamet v. Blanchard (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 1276, 1284.) The prohibition against a corporation's “self-representation” in court also furthers the efficient administration of justice by assuring that qualified professionals present the corporation's case and assist the court in resolution of the issues; and it helps maintain the distinction between the corporation and its shareholders. (CLD Const., Inc. v. City of San Ramon (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 1141, 1146.)

 

PC §1305 (j) A motion filed in a timely manner within the 180-day period may be heard within 30 days of the expiration of the 180-day period. The court may extend the 30-day period upon a showing of good cause. The motion may be made by the surety insurer, the bail agent, the surety, or the depositor of money or property, any of whom may appear in person or through an attorney.

 

PC §1305 (k) In addition to any other notice required by law, the moving party shall give the prosecuting agency a written notice at least 10 court days before a hearing held pursuant to subdivision (f), (g), or (j), as a condition precedent to granting the motion.

6125.  No person shall practice law in California unless the person is an active member of the State Bar.

 

6126.  (a) Any person advertising or holding himself or herself out as practicing or entitled to practice law or otherwise practicing law who is not an active member of the State Bar, or otherwise authorized pursuant to statute or court rule to practice law in this state at the time of doing so, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in a county jail or by a fine of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. Upon a second or subsequent conviction, the person shall be confined in a county jail for not less than 90 days, except in an unusual case where the interests of justice would be served by imposition of a lesser sentence or a fine. If the court imposes only a fine or a sentence of less than 90 days for a second or subsequent conviction under this subdivision, the court shall state the reasons for its sentencing choice on the record.

 

6127.5.  Nothing in Sections 6125, 6126 and 6127 shall be deemed to apply to the acts and practices of a law corporation duly certificated pursuant to the Professional Corporation Act, as contained in Part 4 (commencing with Section 13400) of Division 3 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code, and pursuant to Article 10 (commencing with Section 6160) of Chapter 4 of Division 3 of this code, when the law corporation is in compliance with the requirements of (a) the Professional Corporation Act; (b) Article 10 (commencing with Section 6160) of Chapter 4 of Division 3 of this code; and (c) all other statutes and all rules and regulations now or hereafter enacted or adopted pertaining to such corporation and the conduct of its affairs.

(b) Willfully delays his client's suit with a view to his own gain.

(c) Willfully receives any money or allowance for or on account of any money which he has not laid out or become answerable for.

 

Any violation of the provisions of this section is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by both.

 

Q: I was approached by a bounty hunter who is now trying or tried to be my general bail agent. I think he’s a bail agent, but I’m not sure if he is and what to do.  What should I be concerned about?

 

 A:  Has someone offered you “paper” to start your own Bail Bonds Company and to act as your de facto general bail agent when such person by deceit, omission or failure to fully disclose critical information about his or herself, that led you to reasonably believe that he or she is or ever was a California licensed bail agent, when such is not or ever has been the case, occur?

 

This Office routinely and continuously receives reports from independent sources indicating that the practice of allegedly offering people “paper” to become bail bond business owners to the extent that the focus of questions are generally traced back to less than a dozen persons with some more active in the curious rascality of acting as a general agent when such persons either are no longer licensed or have never been licensed to transact bail in California.

 

As a moral and ethical responsibility to the “protect the public”—within the spirit of California Insurance Code §1724.5 (e)—the aforementioned and heretofore general opinion is hereby presented, and the below code sections are for you to begin to decide for yourself as to whether or not someone failed to meet the duty of candor.

 

*  *  *

 

Insurance Code §1800(b)

 

“For purposes of this section, ‘solicit’ shall include any written or printed presentation or advertising made by mail or other publication, or any oral presentation or advertising by means of telephone, radio, or television which implies that an individual is licensed under this chapter, and any activity in arranging for bail which results in remuneration to the individual conducting that activity.”

 

Insurance Code §1800.75

 

“No person shall advertise or hold himself out as engaging in the business of executing, delivering, or furnishing bail bonds or undertakings of bail whether or not for consideration without holding at the time thereof all proper licenses required by this chapter.

 

Insurance Code §1814

 

“The violation of any foregoing provision of this chapter, or of any rule of the commissioner made pursuant thereto, is a public offense, punishable by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment in the state prison, or in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.”

 

Those persons who believe that they may have been induced by intrinsic fraud or otherwise have been victimized and suffered financial or emotional injury may consider contacting the California Department of Insurance Consumer Hotline via its website.

 

Q: Does Bailspeak have a “practice bail exam” or “copy of the test” for sale or given out at the bail pre licensing class?

 

A: No.  Rex Venator sat on the “Ad Hoc Bail Advisory Board Sub Committee” and assisted, during numerous visits to the California Department of Insurance building in Sacramento, in developing what would become the new “Educational Objectives” for both the new era of bail pre licensing and the new “smart test” bail exam; therefore, Bailspeak’s primary instructor knows what and how to train people for the California Bail Exam by and through California Department of Insurance Approved blocks of instruction over its 22 (not the minimum of 20) hour bail pre licensing course.

 

Moreover;

 

Pursuant to California Insurance Code §1681.5(b), willfully cheating or subvertinga license examination is punishable by a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed one year, or, more plainly stated, it may be a crime to have a so-called “practice” or “copy” of the California Bail Exam.

 

HOWEVER, here are some real quotes about the CALIFORNIA BAIL EXAM and from real people who have taken Bailspeak's 20 Hour Bail Agent Pre Licensing Class:

 

“I passed (bail agent exam) on Thursday; thanks for the help, and YES, you were right that I would pass! And as I went through my notes from class I had a detailed description of all three licenses that you had explained. I was just nervous about passing and now I'm going for my "Bail Fugitive Recovery Class" ... Thank You for your Patience and Knowledge as well as Inspiring me to be a P.I. as well.

 

I someday would like to possibly teach a course like you do, but know I have a lot to learn about this business?

 

You are an AWESOME Instructor and Role Model I look up too!”

 

“THANKS.”

"If the background check goes well (which it should) I will finally have the career I have dreamed of. HUGE shout out to Rex Venator & Bailspeak Pre Licensing Ed for being the stepping stone to making dreams come true. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done for me and my family enough."

"I passed my test through the California department of insurance for my bail exam. I was overwhelmed from all the encouraging words from my friends and family. I want to thank Rex Venator and Bailspeak for offering such an awesome and informative class. Taking the class offered by Bailspeak really just gave me personal confirmation of how much I enjoy the bail industry. I'm so excited to move forward with my career!"

Q: I am a bail agent, and I own my own bail company.  Do I have to retake bail agent pre licensing if I do my own bounty hunting?  Do I get any continuing bail education credit for taking pre licensing over?

 

A:  See the CA FRA Licensing Page on this website for specific requirements regarding the Fugitive Recovery Agent Licensing Process et al. 

 

Moreover, every Sunday and every Monday of each 20 hour bail agent pre licensing course are also separately overlapping Continuing Bail Education classes, Approved by the California Department of Insurance, for six hours each or 12 hours total CE Credit consisting of timely and relevant changes to bail laws and how those changes are impacted by societal shifts in thinking.

 

Sunday is Lawful Bounty Hunting, and Monday is Advanced Bounty Hunting bail law and motion studies.  These subject areas change at the speed of a text and therefore cannot be adequately covered in antiquated, online Bail CE courses with some containing course content that may be totally obsolete and endemic with information that may lead to unnecessary liability.
