Most FiveM servers treat a prison sentence as a timer players sit through and forget. The Bail and Bounty System replaces that dead time with a connected web of legal consequences — warrants that persist, bonds that carry obligations, ankle monitors that report your position, and bounty hunters who get paid to enforce compliance.

Three Interconnected Systems

The core architecture links warrants, bail bonds, and bounty hunting into a chain of cause-and-effect. Courthouse staff create warrants that the police can view and act on. A bondsman offers bail to get a sentenced player out early — but that bond comes with conditions. Miss a mandatory parole check-in with the NPC officer, skip a community service requirement, or violate the terms in any trackable way, and the bail is automatically revoked. When bail is revoked, the system generates a bounty automatically, and any registered bounty hunter can pick it up.

• Courthouse warrant creation — visible to police, persisted in the system
• Bondsman role: issue bail bonds and set bounties on bond violations
• Mandatory daily parole check-ins with NPC officer
• Community service requirements as a bail condition
• Automatic bail revocation on missed check-ins — no admin intervention needed
• Ankle monitor: broadcasts bailed player position to on-duty officers
• Officer pardon and bail revocation permissions for manual override
• Bounty hunter job: Taser loadout that only works on active bounty targets
• NPC-generated bounties with three difficulty tiers (low, medium, high risk)
• Co-operative bounty hunting — multiple hunters can work the same target
• Officer turnover bonus multiplier for rewarding clean captures
• Bounty tablet interface and in-game notification system
• ox_lib dependency, extendable framework bridge

Framework Compatibility

Runs on ESX, QBCore, and Qbox. Target system support covers ox-target, qb-target, and qtarget, with a disableable target option for servers running custom interaction systems. The framework bridge is built for extension, so custom setups can be integrated without modifying core files. Developed by Pickle Mods, the same creator behind the advanced crafting and police job scripts.

Why the Automation Matters

The automatic bail revocation and bounty generation is what separates this from a simple warrant list. On servers that run 24/7 with moderate player counts, no admin is going to manually track every bailed player’s check-in compliance. The system handles enforcement autonomously — the parole clock runs, the check-in either happens or it doesn’t, and the bounty board updates accordingly. That’s the loop that makes the legal roleplay ecosystem self-sustaining without staff overhead.
