There's probably a legal mess around a government entity renting IP addresses. If the entity is registered as an end user (instead of as an ISP) then such rentals might also be considered fraudulent. On a purely pragmatic level, it's also an exceedingly bad idea to let a private party who may turn out to be a criminal use IP addresses authentically registered to your government agency to commit crimes. As an end-user, you won't be able to SWIP information about the rental, leading angry law enforcement offers to knock upon your door.
Or they're the perfect set of addresses to use for criminal purposes. ~Seth
