Bounty Girls Miami: Court TV
The Hollywood Reporter: "Court TV’s new ‘true life’ series, Bounty Girls Miami, speaks for itself and says it all about women being as capable as men in the always-dangerous field of cops and robbers. This reality series traipses after female bounty hunters who hunt down Miami fugitives and bring them to justice — one way or another. The nine hourlong episodes are quickly paced and full of action. There is plenty of female muscle to go around, and it never gets dull." The Olympian: "[Bounty Girls Miami] features an all-female team of bail bond agents from the Miami-based Sunshine State Bail Bonds. This isn’t so amazing as the producers would have you believe — almost half of the state’s 1,900 bail agents are women, according to the Florida Surety Agents Association — but never mind. Why would you, when everybody has cool street names and the team leader says things like ‘I’m going to treat you like the dog you are!’… The lesson here — as when Jag juggles leadership responsibilities with the responsibility to lecture her daughter about boys, or Gloria stops to do some clothes shopping while canvassing the streets for a defendant on the lam — seems to be that women can be feminine even in a male-dominated industry, so long as they get the job done." The New York Times: "The bounty girls…don’t flex muscle — though they do have muscles, or at least the Hollywood upper-body gym contours that suggest casting calls more than careers giving uppercuts and full nelsons. Instead they put on makeup and dresses and go door to door with an odd ruse, something about needing to find their man because his dog is going to be put to sleep… The only problem with this meekness thing is that it fails, at least initially. Almost no doors open with the dying-dog scam. All the while the full name and mug shot of the would-be outlaw (under the word ‘Wanted’; the charges are ‘cocaine possession’ and ‘drug paraphernalia’) flash so often on Bounty Girls Miami that the man’s guilt becomes not just presumed but embellished. There’s more than a little lynch mob in the perkily packaged crew… But this show is not the place to look for real bounty hunters. You knew that, didn’t you?"

This Show Sucks. Racisist 5 ft Dog at least is his own man. I would laugh at these girls playing bad.You have one dumb Dominatrix Chica that looks like Sally Jessie.Posibly a Mexican Condolisa Rice. Objectify her as best you can. Sorry for you.

I just watched the episode where you quite. I just needed to tell you that you do not come off the way you think you do. You really come off as a child who doesn't get their way. You constantly talk down to anyone who gives advice or does not agree with you. You really need to realize your not always right. Just look at the shows where your in them and you will see you were wrong on all of them but one. Even the show where you told everyone that they would not show up that night and there is no way the person would be at work or where ever it was. Well you completely acted like a baby due to you having to do surveillance (which is your job) because you kept saying they were not going to show up. You made an ass of yourself and then the next morning you were proven to be wrong and not once did you offer an apology or even acknowledge you were wrong. It is very rare to find someone so close minded and ignorant such as yourself. You think since you were in the Marines that makes you knowledgeable on the bounty over others who have been doing it for years. All I can say is just watch yourself and see how embarrassing you are and if you still cant see what EVERYONE is talking about then there is no hope and you truly need to dig a hole and not come back out. You make us black woman look bad and ignorant. I am ashamed for you and what makes it worse is you are clueless. You were the only one who didn't have their back.
I write this cause I know a friend of yours and I know you read this.

First the show Bounty Show makes me sick and I'm a woman. They are so fake. I can;t even think of a word for them. It's almost like they have no clue. The new show aiting 9/6/07. It shows them getting into a car wreck. Not one of those girls have their seat belt on. And they are suppose to be helping . So does this mean they don't have to follow the law. I just think it's a show that is taking up space on TV

HAS ANYONE REALIZED THAT THIS SHOW IS ACTING AND NOT REAL... FL LAW DOES NOT PERMIT BOUNTY HUNTERS. PERIOD. THE END... (SEE STATUTE BELOW)
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)].
