- Official description
- Wild will use his political influence to ensure that if a Security Inspector finds contraband that would normally result in imprisonment, you will instead be let off with a warning. This is a one time favor.

How it works
Gets you out of one arrest at an inspection (a serious violation or a fine you can't pay). Confiscation and the reputation loss still apply. The price rises by 100 each time you buy it. Insurance for routes that keep contraband in the store.

What it does
Once, you avoid arrest when an inspection finds Critical-Level Contraband, or High-Level Contraband with a fine you cannot pay.
Rating
A single reprieve from the specified inspection arrest outcomes. Confiscation and reputation loss remain, so legal stock or a working protection plan is better than buying this for routine trade.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
