A what? The cop radios in a tow truck request and the dispatcher calls whoever the town has contracted. They are virtually all
rollbacks these days. My only decision was the cop was NOT going to push me into a parking lot.

I was hoping the cop would give me a jump but he kind of ignored that suggestion, not confirming or denying having cables, and I couldn't open the bed to get at mine.
The cop chastised (although not seriously) the guy for not having a jumpbox, but I got the impression they are supposed to.
Before they rebuilt the intersection in front of my house there were a lot of accidents. I've seen more than one state cop tear a tow truck driver a new asshole for not having a broom to sweep up broken glass. Evidently it's in the contract to be on the state police call list.
