There does appear to be bounty hunters still running around. Reasons to why bounties still exist (that I can think of at the moment): -Indentured workers have run off with bodies they don't yet own (a hypercorp might have been generous/foolish enough to supply a body before the contract was over). -Some jerk was responsible for destroying a habitat (one of the few capital punishments that do exist in that setting. When you want someone final dead, you need to find all their backups). -An ideological activist/terrorist (or a number of them) might have been responsible for a number of troubles (ie anarchist vs hypercorp). -A particularly troublesome threat to the future existence of transhumanity is out there some where but the people who can deal with the problem properly don't know where to look. I'm not an expert on bounty hunting, but in the Eclipse Phase setting, I imagine that a lot of bounty hunting jobs involve finding credible proof of where the target is, not capturing targets. Considering that in many habitats, attacking one target might bring the unwanted attention of the entire habitat, you might want to avoid disturbing the bee's nest. In fact, for organizations who deal with existential threats like firewall, they would rather you didn't bother them so they don't set off the next threat to transhumanity as their last act. They'll take care of things themselves. Besides, a lot of police work in EP involves surveillance as opposed to dealing with crimes directly. Once they figure out who you are, why you are doing something, where you are going (or watch you go somewhere), when you are most likely to have your guard down, etc. then they'll act to apprehend you (assuming they rather catch you now instead of figuring out who your friends are). A lot of the work is strategies and tactics, not who is the best in a fire fight.
