That was on Inside Edition Friday.

If soare the rod spoil the child is true, what does sparing regulation do to megacorps? They've literally become monsters that devour anything in their path, I mean are there even gonna be any consequences for this? "too big to fail" needs to be put under a microscope and dissected.

Some kind of glitch had car rental companies sending police after paying customers. Police being the robotic capital-protecting machines they are arrested customers causing job loss, psych distress and so forth. Its so bizarre Ive read this story maybe 20x in the past week and still don't get exactly how this happened because it required incompetence and on multiple fronts and participants who had to know something was amiss but stuck to protocol anyway cuz... its protocol?

It's about how buggy hertz system is that randomly reports to the police their rental cars have been stolen even though their cars were rented out by paying customers. Cops don't care, so they would arrest these unsuspecting hertz customers and they sat their asses in jail for days or weeks, disrupting their lives and jobs. Hertz has spent a lot of resources on damage control and making sure the public doesn't hear about this.

Apparently they haven't spent enough, or is it that CBS News and Inside Edition are controlled by a different mafioso?

Hard to believe anyone provably innocent of car theft spent 40 days in jail instead of posting bond. The woman who did would seem an unlikely martyr. How hard is it to present your financial records of paying your car rental? They don't even take cash, at all.

So, you definitely have records digitally of having paid a hefty sum, usually.

If there was a dispute about paying or keeping a car in dispute, then Hertz may have gone high order to manage a flaw or weakness in their position as a leasor.

If this problem were this systemic, there would be a class action lawsuit all over it, as Hertz is a pretty big fish.

I would like to make one amendment to this post, I'm constantly reassured that unjust arrests don't disrupt lives or even qualify as a minor inconvenience.

Wow. Just wow. So they just execute orders because "Befehl ist Befehl" then? Those people would probably put their first-born on the electric chair if so ordered.

Police are on autopilot. Corporations are barely wearing the sheep's clothing anymore.

Well. They did hire OJ Simpson as a spokesman

Hertz is without a doubt the most egregiously crooked company out there in the name brand vehicle rental business.

They tried to fuck us over in Italy, tried to fuck us over in England and tried to fuck us over in Nova Scotia.

That was the last straw...the entire corporation seems to have no clue what is happening in their systems.

I hope that the falsely arrested sue the fuck out of them.
