Bail bondsmen cannot arrest just anyone. Their authority is limited to defendants who have signed a bail bond contract and failed to appear.
In California, bail bondsmen or their agents (often called bounty hunters) can apprehend defendants who have skipped bail.
This authority comes from the bail contract itself, which gives the bondsman the right to surrender the defendant to custody.
Bail enforcement agents must follow California laws regarding apprehension. They cannot break into homes or use excessive force.
