John Mancini bounty hunter and Wayne Spath of Brandy Bail Bonds

Myself and my partner were professionals. To the point that we were hired directly by one of the largest insurance carriers. We also had an FBI agent assigned to us from the Fugitive Task Force. I agree with you to a point, you walk into any bar and 10 guys will tell you they are bounty hunters but if you start asking them technical questions the truth comes out. Everyone got treated as they treated us. We gave money to them, took them to see their moms. There are always a few bad ones.

Bounty hunters and repo "men" are, in my experience, not much more than human garbage. I've never been in trouble with the law and never had a vehicle repossessed, but I've had several of each of these thugs come on to my property and threaten me when I told them I didn't know who they were talking about. 

Lesson to both: Don't threaten an old man. You won't like his reaction.

This was done back in the early 90's and was very much legal. We travel nationwide returning skips. We were one of two sets of teams that were actually allowed to do deportation bonds. We worked directly for the main insurance carrier and worked in conjunction with the FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force. It wasn't till the past couple of years you had to be licensed. At that time our carry permits were actually honored throughout the states and even on plans. Times have changed. It was all legal

Dude-what were you doing picking up a skip in Virginia? only DCJS licensed bail agents/fugitive recovery agents like myself are legally allowed to do this in Virginia-even authorization from a out of state surety is taboo
