various training programmes
In the United States of America, bounty hunters have varying authority levels in their responsibilities, which depends on the provinces where they operate. As asserted in Taylor v. Taintor, and excluding restrictions applicable state by state, a bounty hunter may enter the fugitive’s personal property without a warrant in order to arrest him/her. In a few provinces, bounty hunters don’t have any formal training, and are usually not licensed, only requiring sanction from a bail bondsman to function. However in other states, they have varying measures of education and accreditation. In California, bounty hunters have to undergo a background check and complete various training programmes that meet the requirements under penal code 1299. In most states they are not allowed to carry firearms without special licenses. Louisiana requires bounty hunters to wear clothing distinguishing them as such, Bounty Hunter . In Kentucky, bounty hunting is generally not let as the state doesn’t have a bail bondsmen system, and frees bailed suspects through the state’s Pretrial Services division of the courts, thus there are no bondsmen with the right to arrest the runaway. In general, only fugitives who have skipped bail on federal charges from another state where bounty hunting is legal are allowed to be pursued in Kentucky.
