Dear Mr. Waltman
I have been asked to respond to your request for records, attached.
The State of Oregon Division of Financial Regulation does not have any record of having received an earlier request from you in this matter.
In Oregon, there are no bounty hunter-specific laws. In State v. Epps, 36 Or. App. 519, 585 P.2d 425, (Or. Ct. App 1978), the Court of Appeals confirmed that the bail system and any common law rights of bounty hunters had been eliminated "in favor of ORS 133.805 which provides judicial notice and identification safeguards which are more consistent with contemporary standards of due process." Id. at 429
I understand that Oregon is one of four states where Bail Bondsmen are not allowed to operate.
In response to your request, Oregon does not have any of the documents that you have requested.
