I'm assuming you mean the private system of bail bonding and bounty hunting. The positive is it makes it possible for more people to make bond who would otherwise be in jail waiting for their court date. The negative, is private companies have the greatest interest in securing the appearance of these people in court. Which means that if one of their clients absconds, that they will employ the least expensive method to find and capture the client. This usually involves hiring armed people who are not answerable to any government agency, and are not bound by any of the restrictions imposed on law enforcement agents who are motivated only by the prospect of finding the bail skipper in the shortest possible amount of time.
