That makes sense. But that raises a separate unrelated question; how do bailbondsmen seem to be able to take their targets in, are they violating the law or are criminals gullible or something else?

Bail agents can usually enter the home of the subject without additional consent due to clauses in the contract of the bail bond, but not (without the owners consent) homes owned by third parties even if the target is present.

Criminals are also frequently gullible.

And bail agents are fairly notorious as a group for having a less than scrupulous attention to legal restrictions.

So, a mix of things, really.
