Most states say no to this as LE has control of prisoners and could use their position as a LE to gain business.

This may have been covered in general before on another thread. Always the big question that comes down is, is the LEO acting as a private citizen or a state actor when performing his or her duties as a bail recovery agent? Are they in uniform? Did they use department resources to locate the skip?

I have two friends that are police officers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island NY. I know thier departments do not allow them to do bail enforcment. I am not sure of the state laws regarding this though.

I have worked with sworn LE every year around Christmas time, they go ghost the rest of the year! Their departments do not allow them to work in our field because the semblance of impropriety should they get paid for private actions on something that should have been completed on the LE job. There is the other issue of access to data not available to the general public and the potential loss of that access for the entire department should that be discovered. FYI, the guys that regularly work with me do not hunt in their jurisdiction. Scott
