Why this rule existsrationale
Bail bond marketing reaches people at a moment of acute distress, frequently using data obtained from arrest records rather than consent. Carriers treat unsolicited outreach on that basis as a per-se harm, independent of the legality of the underlying business.

This solicitation model cannot be registered. Messaging existing clients about their own case is a different category — describe it that way and remove any acquisition content.
