Bail may have been $200k, but one just needs to pay a bail bondsman 10% and the bail bondsman signs you out with the promise you will show up for your court date. If you don't show up, you owe 100% of the bail to the bondsman since he put his name in for you, and thats when Dog the Bounty Hunter gets called. It's standard practice everywhere, thats why the $200K bond was laughable, it should have been a good 2 million instead.
