Documentary about Fugitive Recovery and Bondsmen

Is my background acceptable?

No, it isn't. Anyway, I was entertaining the idea, but since you have created so much controversey I think it is best to not get involved with your alleged documentary.

Only a fool or a really, really naive person would agree to jump into a business deal with a nameless, faceless, person on the internet. If I want to do business with a person, I insist on meeting them in person, running a thorough background check on them, including the BBB, and seeing a sample of thier product, I also insist on past customer's and references for thier opinions.

For the most part, most of us here are prior military, leo, or both. so we like to stay in the same commo processes, i.e. Direct questions with direct answers:

Name, location, name of company, contact information, licensing information, state of California licenses that can be verified through various agencies both state and private; Other projects you have been affiliated with, etc.

In other words, a verifiable resume with all of your claims to fame, including professional references, character references, project references, etc.

I for one would also want a contract signed for all of your employees or affiliates involved with the project; hold harmless clauses, vicarious liability waivers, medical/death waivers, etc.

You obviously have no idea of the responsibility that our job entails from a potential litigation stand point:

1) We are subject to arrest at almost any given time

2) We carry with us vicarious liability for our clients

3) We can be sued by anyone we interview during a routine investigation

4) We can be sued by any occupant that we use force to gain entry into thier domicile..even if we make the apprehension there.

5) The responsibility we carry during transporting/extraditing a fugitive from point a-b. Did you know that most automobile insurances WILL NOT COVER FUGITIVE EXTRADITION ? If we are involved in a wreck during transport, most policies are automatically negated immediately because you were using your pov for "an inherently dangerous purpose which our policy does not cover".

This is why so many on here are wary of your quest for participants. We have worked too hard for too long to get where we are, only to have it all ruined in the blink of an eye by a nameless, faceless, wannabe hollywood producer.

Lastly, almost everyone knows the Latin phrase "Semper Fidelis" : "Always Faithful". Just because you can quote it, doesn't mean you were a U.S. Marine.

If that is what you are trying to claim:

1) What was your MOS ?

2) Dates of service ?

3) Rank at discharge ?

4) Type of Discharge ?

5) Last unit assigned to and name of Company Commander ?

I have been out of the service since 1985, but I can still tell you where I was, what units, ao's etc. It's not something Vets tolerate being played with.

I'm sorry but this wreaks of a scam. Almost seems AO's style of scam. They need several different BEAs to give them files to work so the viewing public can see many different BEAs in action, but wait...that doesn't make sense if the ghost company posting is the one doing the recovery. In fact another similarity to AO is the bringing up Marine service....Just my two cents anyway...

godsofold: Just for your future reference; The way that you posted that just screams BULLSH*T!

just my $0.02

Edited to add: Very well said Mindtracker.

Pup, the original response besides "Semper Fi" was a " my space " address which has since been removed in this thread. In the "my space" advertisement, which seemed propper, no name was ever given. Godsofold may very well be legitamate, but also posting under the name Relentless1, kind of emmitted a strange odor.

godsofold came to the wrong neighborhood!

I guess they decided it was best to take their business elswhere, I would have to agree. If they are for real they could use tsugss idea.

Mr. Blaylock should we ever meet face to face, you would be more than welcome to review any of my certs, documentation, SRB and references. But I won’t publish Name, numbers and so forth online. I don’t need anyone recklessly running background checks and acquiring Soc Sec #’s its bad enough that the VA let that information go. For some time I did have a link to a MySpace account so anyone could put a face to me, plus additional info. If you’re still interested (which I doubt you are) in seeing a face, please write to me at godsofold@hotmail.com and I’ll provide you with the link. No disrespect YAK but having two email accounts is far from a scam. One is a personal account and the other is business. My apologies if for some reason that seems “ify”
