Is Bounty Hunting legal in the UK?

K

keepitsecret

It would be great if it was legal! haha..

I'm sure quite a few of us would like to go after some track-suit wearing,greasy slime-ball chav lay abouts.

Best bit of course is you could dress up as "Dog" and run around with Paint Ball guns :D

It's not that it's not legal. It's just not viable.

The reason bounty hunters work in the US is they have bail bondsmen. People that put up your bail to get you out jail. If you jump bail, they lose their money. So the bondsmen pay bounty hunters to get people back to jail, and recover the bail money.

not for catching people, but bounty hunters are more now then ever being used by insurance companies to trace stolen cars from the UK over the world.
There was something on TV a while back about this >>
As for dog, didn't he catch the maxfactor guy, and the film dominoe is about his crew??

I'm with Earl on this one
but .... has to be the plain / dark bounty (red wrapper) - far superior to the milk chocolate version

Now we have found something important to discuss.

Have you noticed the drop off in quality ,even more pronounced in Mars bars Not a shadow of there former selves and as for rowntrees fruit pastiles WTF are they supposed to be.:|:eek:

Pastiles there like little lumps of rock.:mad:

Steve Mcqueen was a bounty hunter,didn't do him a lot of good.:|

There is such a thing as 'bounty hunting' in the UK but as another member pointed out it's working for insurance companies tracing valuables not people. Cars paintings etc. It's all on a freelance basis of course. Fee 20% -25%.

Similar fee applies to tracing heirs to an estate. Most probate solicitors will pay that.

Earl. Don't know about you Mars bar but my cashew nuts these days seem to be rock hard and I agree with you about pastilles - but is that such a bad thing for you.

After all you can take your teeth out mate and suck on one for hours.:D

This is the British 'DOG'.

They get paid to hunt down offenders who have broken 'bail' or 'license'.

Problem is unlike the USA they get paid either way! And the soft ones are more like social workers than leather clad muscle men. I have known a few handy ones tho who are effective!
