The Right of the Surety and Bail Agent to Pursue Principal Who Has Fled

The surety (and through them, the Bail Agent) in Bail Bond have the right to turn their Principal (the defendant) over to the Court (via law enforcement) at any time, and to this end may pursue and seize him/her wherever they may find him, even if Principal is in another state.
More plainly, the Bail Agent or Surety may cancel the Bail at any time and turn in the Defendant if they deem necessary (e.g. Defendant has left his job, cannot be located, or is reported to be planning flight).

By common law, the Surety may arrest Defendant who has failed to appear at any time and in any place. This arrest is legally considered a continuation of the original custody and has been likened by U.S. Supreme Court (Taylor vs. Taintor 16 Wall, 366) to the re-arrest of an escaped prisoner by the Sheriff. In the same case, the Court also related that Bail was intended to transfer custody from the Sheriff to the Surety, not to discharge the Defendant from custody.
