Taintor states "agents" have the authority to arrest. An "Agent" is a bail agent defined by MCL 750.167b(4) as a licensed bondsman--not a bounty hunter. There are no bounty hunting laws for Michigan for a reason--MCL 750.167b(4) and Tailor Vs. Taintor are sufficient. The reason there is no bounty hunting laws is because of PARSIMONY. Nothing more needs to be said. A bail agent is a bondsman as defined in MCL 750.167b(4) and a Tailor VS. Taintor gives the arrest authority. Enough defined and said. An agent is not defined as a bounty hunter any more than a banker or truck driver. Truth of the matter is, as long as one is working in the field in a diplomatic, professional, and responsible way, most law enforcement is not going to care and may not even know what the bounty hunting laws are to stop someone who is not an agent from performing fugitive recovery work. On the contrary, in the event that a bounty hunter does get arrested for doing something improper, it could be possible for the county prosecutor to make a case stating that the individual was not a bail agent nor professional investigator and was therefore doing something they were not supposed to have been doing; something like that would probably be at the discretion of the law. Besides a bail agent investigating the whereabouts of a defendant, the only other civilian who can investigate criminal matters for contract money in Michigan are licensed professional investigators and of course state licensed attorneys. Also, we can all do ourselves and the public a huge favor when working in the field if we don't break in motel doors recklessly and impulsively; doing such will land a bounty hunter jail :-) As we all know, Tailor Vs.

I started wearing a vest 20 years ago and have worn out many since. I use front/back trauma inserts and curse the darn thing every time I put it on. It's hot and makes me sweat. It makes it hard to bend over (I can still touch my toes). It makes it tough transitioning in and out of a vehicle. It's hot and makes me sweat. I started buying moisture wicking T-shirts and it's still hot and makes me sweat. And to top it all off; after all these years and the thousands of dollars I have spent, the darn things have never worked :) db Nice article Scott.
