A. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 643 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the use or attempt to use force by a bail enforcer in the recovery of a defendant as defined in the Bail Enforcement and Licensing Act is prohibited when unnecessarily committed or when the force is excessive or unreasonable in manner, degree or duration.

B. Every bail enforcer shall be trained on the use of force and the rules for use of force promulgated for the Bail Enforcement and Licensing Act.

C. No force shall be authorized which is more than sufficient to temporarily restrain a defendant who has refused to obey a lawful command to surrender to the bail enforcer. The duration and manner of any force used by a bail enforcer shall be only that reasonably necessary to surrender the defendant to the public officer competent to receive such person into custody.

D. Any force used by a bail enforcer in self-defense while recovering a defendant or to defend another from injury or threat of injury while recovering a defendant shall be not more than sufficient to prevent an offense.

E. Any force deemed by the district attorney to be unnecessarily committed or excessive or unreasonable in manner, degree or duration may be prosecuted as a crime committed without justification or excusable cause under an existing provision of law.
