What are the laws in California regarding convicted felons working as investigators or bounty hunters?

In California, convicted felons are generally prohibited from working as investigators or bounty hunters. This is because these professions are considered to be "critical infrastructure" under the California Penal Code. Critical infrastructure is defined as any facility, system, or asset that is essential to the security, health, or economy of the state.

There are some exceptions to this general rule. For example, a convicted felon may be able to work as an investigator or bounty hunter if they have received a pardon or have had their civil rights restored. Additionally, a convicted felon may be able to work in these professions if they are working under the direct supervision of a licensed private investigator or bounty hunter.

If you are a convicted felon and you are interested in working as an investigator or bounty hunter in California, you should contact the California Department of Consumer Affairs for more information.
