Bounty Hunters Probe California Bail Jumpers
Bounty hunters in California operate by legal risk and rewards. Ralph Thorson and Neil Zelinsky earn incomes from capturing bail jumpers, typically on a 15 percent fee or 50 dollars for a 500 dollar bond, with higher sums for tougher cases. They rely on bondsmen and stakeouts, often working nights and weekends, while navigating statutes and cross state line concerns.
