Here in the US a Bailiff is a court officer who assists the judge and oversees court security. What are a Bailiffs duties in the UK?
bailifs chase poor people who are in debt. rent arrears, loans, etc they have a right to take your goods and sell them if you dont pay but
only if you allow them entry to start with
we also have court appointed bailifs. they have additional powers and can arrest you for certain things that aren't paid. years ago we rioted in uk
against 'poll tax' - you could be sent to prison for non payment of it.
there are only a couple of things that can put you in prison for non payment. Council bills, non payment of fines etc. all from government.
these are the only bailifs to worry about.
is DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER what you would call a bailif??
