    I googled it and came up with this:

    "Florida does not allow bounty hunters.

    (3) No person, other than a certified law enforcement officer, shall be authorized to apprehend, detain, or arrest a principal on a bond, wherever issued, unless that person is qualified, licensed, and appointed as provided in this chapter or licensed as a bail bond agent by the state where the bond was written. "

    From what I have read, Florida does not allow bounty hunters. Read this from "Florida Bail Laws":

    10. Bounty Hunter Provisions.

    Florida does not allow bounty hunters.

    Apprehension of bail fugitives is only allowed as set forth in FS 648.30(2)&(3):
    (2) No person shall represent himself or herself to be a bail enforcement agent, bounty hunter, or other similar title in [Florida].
    (3) No person, other than a certified law enforcement officer, shall be authorized to apprehend, detain, or arrest a principal on a bond, wherever issued, unless that person is qualified, licensed, and appointed as provided in this chapter or licensed as a bail bond agent by the state where the bond was written.
    Violation of this is a 3rd class felony. [FS 648.30(4)].
