The converse of that is it's almost impossible for IL residents to obtain a Bail Bond in another State. What Bondsman in his or her right mind is going to write a Bond for a resident where it is practically illegal for him to recover a bail jumper?

The result is that many Bondsmen will simply not post Bonds for any IL resident.

Another wonderful result is that the Cook County Sheriff Fugitive has about a 4 year backlog of warrants to serve.

Great system.
