Beth has now announced her candidacy for the presidency of the Professional Bail Agents of the United States (PBUS).
“Our industry is under attack,” she tells In Touch exclusively. “There are bail reform movements springing up across the country that would end the cash bail systems. This would be a disaster.”
The decision comes at a time when bail reform across the country is taking the form of totally removing cash bail systems. A recent lawsuit in California is seeking to get rid of the cash bail system by deeming it unconstitutional and legal actions like this one have traditionally gone unchallenged by the industry. That is something Beth Chapman says she will change as president of the PBUS.
“I worked with the California Bail Agents Association to get them on as interveners in the case so that the industry can mount a significant challenge to this incredibly disastrous suit,” says Beth. “The bail industry provides a service to the government and helps ensure the public’s safety. Removing the bail system would have a deleterious effect on the criminal justice system. It is imperative that our association, under strong leadership, fight every attempt by these social justice lackeys to remove cash bail when their only goal is to make it easier for the bad guys to get out of jail.”
Duane adds, “For over 12 years we have shown on TV the importance of the bail industry in assisting the criminal justice system, and I have preached about how important it is that bail agents and bounty hunters conduct themselves properly. We made this incredibly tough decision because we feel that without intervention from all of our associations, we will no longer have an industry in which to work. This is not an end to Dog the Bounty Hunter, but if these lawyers have their way, it will be the end of the bail system in the United States and we cannot sit by and let that happen.”
