It is a presumption under law that a felon will do that which is necessary to escape return to custody.

Long ago, I knew a bail bondsman who was arrested for a concealed weapon (statutory felony, probably had a history already) and an arrest in a separate incident for strangling a girlfriend of one of his clients to make her tell him where the client was (usually a felony case). Don’t know what the offenses were plead down to.
He was in a western state, of course, and he had a nasty drug habit, probably coke or meth. He was supported in his activities, but most states won’t tolerate activities like that. A little bird ended his racket by complaining to a judge and writing an op ed.
Last I looked, 12 more peaceful states have constitutional carry with no permit required. Maybe that will eventually cut down on some of the violent offenses and corruption, too. It appears to be working out very well so far.
