The system was created when you could just move a state over and start a new life.
The bondsman can still send someone after you, but these days it’s more likely they wait for the cops to find you and then sue you.
But I’m pretty sure most don’t have any money at that point anyways, there’s no financial incentive to spend money looking, it’s just a “cost of doing business” at this point when someone runs.
But say the bondsman put up for your bail, and collected 10,000 from you plus whatever fees. If you don’t go back to court that bail bondsman is out $90,000. It seems like it would be worth tracking you down to bring you in so that he could get his 90,000 back
