> A man was found on the back seat of his girlfriend’s Tesla, with a gunshot wound to the head, ending up in critical condition in the hospital. The police towed the vehicle for evidence, although no arrests have been made.

> The [Canadian tourist] permitted officers to download the footage without taking away the car, sparing him a visit to the police station.
Not an example of an uninvolved car being towed for data.
