We own (or used to until Insurance went up from 9/11) a tow service in Blue Springs MO And for years were the Police and Jackson County Sheriffs tow service. Each year you have to bid on the accounts it is usually around $15 a tow. Where we make the money is the impound fee at about $40 a day storage less the 1st day.

Figure $200 a pop, and they had an excellent night (that's $80k). Do the police get a cut of this is the question? The best was when I was arrested for speeding on my motorcycle (yes arrested), and the cop had me follow him to the police station so he could hand-cuff me and throw me in a cell. My girlfriend came to bail me out within an hour or so, and my bike was still waiting outside to be towed. The cop saw that my bike wasn't towed yet, so he had the clerk pull me back into a cell (after I had already paid the bail and was walking out of the station). The reason was that they "forgot some paperwork", even though I didn't receive any extra paperwork after they let me out the second time. They released me the minute after they towed my bike, my girlfriend sat outside and watched them do it. The moral of the story - it's mostly better to just kiss an officer's ass than it is to speak with them as if they'll act like an adult. Most cops aren't adults, they're more like big cross-guards, only with a gun, a moustache, and a really bad attitude. They quickly sense if you aren't kneeling to their granted authority and will use every trick in the book against you at that point. This is where aggravation takes on a new meaning, is when they're out to get you, and get you they shall - they're experts at it. It's better to just take their advice and remain silent (smart ass comments cause even more trouble - you're only writing yourself more tickets), and let your lawyer do your dealings. Sorry if I sound bitter :o) Adam. > -----Original Message----- > From: Vinny A DiDonato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 9:58 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: 425 arrested at KMart > > > I saw pictures of the actual raid on a sportbiker website I > frequent.
