    I had a friend who was a bounty hunter for about two months. He was a former Marine who taught empty-hand combat to other marines. He was a dangerous man but super nice. His first capture was a guy he dragged from under a bed and handcuffed to the roll bar in the back of his pickup to take in. He quit after two months. I asked him why and he looked at me with his hard eyes and said " Some of these people do not want me to catch them a lot more than I want to get them and they are crazy dangerous.'

    Just a little backstory:
    Perspective is often due to the angle at which you are viewing a situation.
    Just because you feel a certain way doesn’t mean it’s accurate or that your feelings consider the entirety of that situation.
    The guy who was taken to court, using pain compliance, was refusing to go to court and was sitting in his sisters car. She had driven him to court and was begging him to go in. The day prior, his sister and the bondsman had lost $10,000 because of the same situation.
    His sister was a single mom, broke, and had signed his bond as the indem to do him favor so that he wouldn’t have to sit in jail. She put up two bonds, each for $10,000 and this was the thanks she received by her brother.
    She was blocks away from the courthouse because when she would drive too close, he would start destroying her car. He was in a volatile place and was mistreating someone who loved him (mental illness or not)
    So by taking him to court that day we saved her and the bondsman a large amount of money. I wish I had helped her the day before. I wish her brother wasn’t mentally ill. But you can wish in one hand and shit in the other.. you know the saying.
    Also, the girl who went to treatment and we picked her up. We got her off the bond she was on with the pervert who had been her bondsman. We took her to jail but had another bondsman lined up for her within 12 hours, she was back out and checked into that treatment facility. Just so you know, we did take care of her and helped her as best we could. We also reported him to the DOI. My team does NOT do recoveries for that bondsman, that was the last day I spoke with him. And I did tell him exactly what I thought about him. 👍 we were not paid for that day because he got his feelings hurt during my conversation with him. No love lost here.
    Wanted this to be understood, there are always different views/angles to be seen. Emotions are raw, and they refuse to be reasoned with. It’s not often that our emotions tell the truth.
    Take care and be safe 😉

Seems like this man takes care of business / the people around him. All the people around him. Throughout the whole interview it seemed like he kept inadvertently going back to his team, his family, strangers. You can tell how important the community is to this guy. Guy just seems like a genuine guardian. After watching this I wanna work out, and make sure I’m the best version of myself, so I can be there for those around me when the time comes. Seems like thats how Nic lives. My favorite interview to date
    Not to mention how kind and respectful he comes off, while also remaining stern and stuck to his convictions. Really would love to hear more from this guy, really inspired by this one.

No one's asking for men to be leaders, no one ever did, that's just something arseholes made up retrospectively to justify their unsolicited actions. Men need to learn who they really are and how to be without trying to put their balls on everyone's nose all the time. It's too much pressure for anyone to deal with.

    When ever he saw a man hitting a woman, he went into action. He had more guts then any man i have ever met. When 911 happened
    He was right into action. He took his dump truck, left our state and went to New York to do all he could to help. He stayed on the site helping for 48 hours. Nic, reminded me so much of him also when he said, punks, start calling him Sir. I saw older men call my brother Sir, when he over powered them, always with his hands . We lost him 2 years ago, and their is a great chance, it was do to him helping out in New York. He was exposed to stuff that gave him cancer, like many others exposed there also got.

    This is the reason why I got out of corrections/law enforcement. He is spot on with everything he's said with people not taking accountability, no leadership, and the overall downfall of society due to drugs. I knew I had to get out when people we're telling me how negative and angry I was and I never looked back when I left. It's mentally exhausting dealing with people who just don't get it and it's extremely dangerous.

Homelessness, drugs, ETOH, mental illness, violence are ALL things that I see at work everyday. It is often overwhelming, and can feel hopeless and helpless dealing with this issues everyday. Our society is sick, and I fear that it will only get worse. You really need to have a healthy outlet outside of work, or it would be super easy to just lose yourself in that abyss.

      Keep up the good work, I bet it's mentally and emotionally draining. Much of society has rebelled against God, and this is what happens, a further falling into an abyss of evil lifestyle before final judgement and damnation to hell. But Jesus is waiting with open arms for people to repent and turn to Him, and we can pray for these people because we can't physically make them change their lives. Seen countless people who have destroyed themselves with alcohol/substance abuse or food in the hospital/nursing homes, and it's also destroying the healthcare system we work in and has made our jobs 10x tougher, especially since 2020.

    This is a great interview!! Nick's is smart guy with a strong moral compass, tons of life experience and is a terrific communicator. I'm wondering if he's thought about transitioning into a different line of work. He's got a lot to offer and would be an asset to many, many organizations. Just thinking it's good to have an exit strategy from dangerous, physically and emotionally demanding work as you get older.

      Did you hear the part in which he lied to the woman to get her out of a treatment center only to deliver her to the bail bondsmen, who was planning to extort her for sex? He nicely deflected his part in trafficking her, but that is what happened.

    • @amber76OH
      @amber76OH Рік тому +7

      @@pixie6133 no, did not hear that piece of the interview. Thanks for pointing it out. I may have been distracted. I did hear him say that he doesn't always love his role in this job, perhaps it was centered around that comment. Bailbondsmen are unregulated, and can be known to be quite cruel, but I was certainly glad he saved that girl from getting murdered. I am sure he's no saint, but he seems to at least have a moral compass, so hopefully his good traits outweigh the bad (honestly that's about all I can hope for in people these days).

      I believe he delivered her back to jail when he picked her up, not the bondsman. Maybe I misheard, but that’s my understanding of what they do when they pick ppl up.
