17 News discovered a youtube video of Kern County Sheriff's Deputies and a bail bonds enforcement officer entering a local woman's home after she told them they couldn't come in without a warrant and her consent. With the evidence she caught on tape, the law seems to be on her side.

"I don't need a warrant," the bondsman said as he appeared to enter on his own into the home from a back door on the youtube video.

There were also sheriff's deputies at the front door. Deputies and bail bond enforcement officials have different laws but a local bail bondsman not affiliate with this case said what happened in this case was against the law.

"If you see the person go in, you can go in," Glenn Pierce, the owner of Gotta Go Bail Bonds said. "But you just can't go in randomly."

The woman who lived at the home told 17 News her name is Star. She said she is in hiding because threats were made against her. She also said deputies and the bail bondsman violated her rights by forcing entry into her home after she stated she was the only one there.

Attorney H.A. Sala says based on the video evidence, the Sheriff's Department could have a lawsuit on its hands because of the way they forced into the home without any knowledge of the wanted person being in the home. "They have to knock, state a purpose, say they have a warrant and give time for the person to surrender," Sala said.

I have a suspicion, the bail punk, and jack booted Deputies, will be lucky to get Mall Ninja Jobs, when this is over.

They'll probably all get promoted. The system has been broken for a long time.

I would agree, except for the video.....Now the Sheriff will have to explain. Bad Press. They will do what all good "political" office holders do, and throw them under the bus.

OBTW, Where's the ACLU?

Geez. Jumbo. I may not be working tonight, but thanks for making this site non-work friendly.

That why I have an exploding door. Never impact my door with over 50 lbs of force. I even have a remote control.
Sometimes the actions of people come with unintended consequences.

um, generally speaking bail bonds men do not need a warrent, as in the agreement for the bond you already give them  permission.  now the LEOs thats another matter.

TAB, my understanding of the bail bondsman (bounty hunter) is that he does not need a warrant to search the address you gave on your bond or if he sees you enter the house.  Other wise he is just like any other LEO and must have a warrant to search.
