Wait, what?
In St. Louis, Missouri, this seems to be true. But is it legal? Ehhhh ?
A bonded towing service in the city has been found to be allowing police officers and their family members a hidden benefit on the sly: “renting” confiscated cars that have been impounded from investigations of people suspected (but not convicted) of criminal activity.

How is this possible? More importantly ? how did they get caught?
Oh, it gets better.

The local paper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/news/stlouiscitycounty/story/00834845f12de2cb8625748c00110686?OpenDocument) found the connection through their investigation of the troubled daughter of the city police chief. She had had a few, shall we say, inebriated incidents on the mean streets of the city. Actually, she had been involved in more than a few. Yet she managed to still keep driving on city roads, each time with a different (but not new) car.
Where was she getting the wheels she was using for each successive incident (and accident)?
Where her daddy’s cops and their families were getting them ? the impound yard!

This is probably more incentive than ever to pay your fines early. You never know when your recently-towed car could be speeding erratically past you on the road with the stereo blaring before plowing through a crop of newspaper dispensers.
