Isn't Roadrunner Towing the exclusive towing company for BRPD?

Yes, and if the car was blocking traffic and unable to move and if the drivers tow truck could not get there in a reasonable amount of time to clear the roadway, then another tow truck would be called. So in this scenario, the driver calls AAA and bros called road runner, if AAA made it before road runner then brpd would cancel road runner. Either way the insurance would take care of towing, storage and transportation to a repair facility.

I think I've heard of AAA before. Maybe it's a big company with like more than 2 trucks

I'm sure it's Roadrunner Towing and it is a racket




I thought Roadrunner didn't want your arms or legs, they just wanted your tows. So is this not true?

So your car becomes the property of the city/tow company when you get in a wreck? Why can't you just tell them no?

Typically most civilians are lying, confused or hopped up on something. It makes protecting the public more difficult but that's why police are heroes.

BRPD has a contract with Roadrunner unless I'm mistaken.

If what you're saying is correct, she needs to call the public integrity department. If the car was driveable from the scene, she could have left without needing a tow.

One where the fender is pushed into the tire like he said where it can't be moved.

do cops really get gift cards sent to them from the towing company?

We don't want an arm or your leg. We just want your toes.

Yes, it is a racket.

Cop will give her some crap about how we have to clear the wreck "in a hurry". Causeway Police has the same scam.
