On this episode of The Bail Post we discuss an important case involving a recovery agent who was licensed in Louisiana. A defendant who was charged with a misdemeanor failed to appear for court and then went to the state of Missouri where she was staying at the time she was filed. The recovery agent and his partner traveled to Missouri, took the defendant into their custody and began traveling back to Louisiana. The defendant was eventually dropped off at a sheriff's office in Mississippi. The two recovery agents were charged with federal kidnapping charges because they crossed state lines. One of the recovery agents plead guilty and was given probation. The other went to trial and was convicted and given a sentence of 10 years. The case was appealed because of the jury instructions given by the trial court. Join us to find out why the court of appeals reversed the case and what the future holds for the recovery agent.

This Episode of The Bail Post was recorded several months before the election last November. When we attempted to post information regarding this episode on social media, it was immediately deleted. After multiple attempts to post the information we began to question our decision to cover this matter. Were we duped? Were we just wrong? Then the issue of cartels and drugs became an issue in the Presidential election. Now that the election is over, it appears that this information was "suppressed" by social media.

"History is full of examples where good intentions paved the way to disastrous outcomes. Today, we are witnessing another such moment -- a social experiment in criminal justice reform that has unleashed unforeseen consequences on our urban communities. This experiment was built on two flawed premises. The first was that bail is unnecessary and people would voluntarily appear in court without financial incentives. The second was that “soft-on-crime” policies would not lead to increased criminal activity. Both assumptions have proven catastrophically wrong, but the damage has already been done. A group of individuals advocating bail reform -- and criminal justice reform in general -- established a network of groups to push a series of initiatives. It was funded by a small number of extremely deep-pocketed foundations and wealthy billionaires. Among them, the Open Society Foundation and its prominent backer, George Soros, played outsized roles in ...
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Re: PBT January 2025 Planning Meeting & PBT Continuing Education Class January 9-10, 2025 Everyone: Texas is under threat of severe weather in the next few days. We have received calls from members of the board and bondsmen and other planning to attend our continuing education class questioning whether the meeting and the class will go forward in light of the projected weather. There are concerns that we may not have a quorum for the meeting. Additionally, we take concerns about driving conditions for our membership, our instructors and the people attending our classes very seriously. Therefore, it has been decided to push the meeting and the class to January 22nd and the 23rd at the same location. This will be a Wednesday/Thursday and the class will take place on Thursday. We are working with the hotel to move reservations to the new dates. Thank you so much for your continued support and with your patience as we place eve...
