b"Jack Saltarelli is a bounty hunter. His job is to hunt down fugitives. Any given day, he\\u2019s going after rapist, murderers, and people who skip court. Most bounty hunters carry lethal weapons, but not Jack. He goes door-to-door carrying a stun gun and a training revolver that fires rubber bullets.\\xa0\\n\\nYou may be asking yourself what\\u2019s the difference between a cop and a bounty hunter? First, bounty hunters have more authority than local police. Cops have jurisdictions, and they need warrants in order to enter your home. Bounty hunters, on the other hand, can hunt you down anywhere, and they can even barge into your homes if they have to.\\n\\nHow can they get away with this? Simple. Let\\u2019s say you get arrested and sign a bail bond contract to get out of jail. The moment you sign that contract, you\\u2019re waiving your constitutional rights.\\n\\nI met up with Jack at his bail bonds office in Gulfport, Mississippi. Let\\u2019s just say that Jack isn\\u2019t your ordinary bounty hunter. His story is much more complicated than that. Find out the secret Jack Saltarelli has been hiding for more than 30 years.\\n\\nPart 2 is available right now for my Patreon supporters.\\n\\nRetired FBI Agent Jerri Williams\\n\\nYou know, people always ask me, \\u201cJavier, where do you find these stories?\\u201d The answer is all sorts of places. But not this one. I learned about this story from my podcast from my friend Jerri Williams. Jerri is a retired FBI agent who has a podcast called FBI Retired Casefile Review. You may remember Jerri from the episode with the telemarketing con artist named Carl. If you haven\\u2019t check out FBI Retired Casefile Review, do yourself a favor and subscribe. Jerri is on every week featuring real former FBI agents describing their case. She is the real deal. You can listen to Jerri's interview with Jack Saltarelli and retired FBI agent Judy Tyler here.\\n\\nAlso, you should check out her new book, it\\u2019s called FBI Myths and Misconceptions: A Manual for Armchair Detectives. Jerri debunks clich\\xe9s and misconceptions about the FBI in books, TV, and movies.\\n\\nAnd thank you to you for helping me fund this story. If it weren\\u2019t for my Patreon supporters, I couldn\\u2019t be able to support the flight down to Gulf Port, MS, or the rental car and hotel. Seriously, this story was great because I was able to be there with Jack. If you want to hear more stories like this, please consider donating one dollar to the show.
