California Skip Tracers is a mini-documentary from the "California Bail Bonds" series. 20 years in the making. The film explores the role of bail agents and skip tracers (aka Bounty Hunters & Fugitive Recovery Agents), the job of tracking down and arresting people who run away from their court cases. We look at how Duane "Dog" Chapman became a household name over his dramatic capture of fugitive "Max Factor Cosmetics" heir Andrew Luster, and how Hollywood's depiction of Bounty Hunters differs from the real life version. Quentin Tarantino, Robert DeNiro, and Ice-T make cameo appearances in this straight from the streets look at one of California's most dangerous professions.
