Although the police said he was not arrested, he was Mirandized and held for a while in a way that would appear to most people to be an arrest.

The weirdest thing about this is that it wasn’t Hertz.

"So tell me, why do you want to join the police force?"

"Oh, I just want access to your database because I can't trust anyone not to rent me a stolen car."

Steve: Hertz, no!

Renting out someones car while they're on vacation sounds like a grand way to come back from vacation to get all kinds of camera tickets in the

I checked out Turo back in 2019. My wife and I were in Vegas for our 20th anniversary, and I thought about renting something cool for a day. One of the cars I looked at was a 2018 Porsche 911 convertible, and the price seemed reasonable until I got deeper into the booking process. One of the things they expected me to do was have the car professionally detailed after a 4 hour rental. In the end, I went to Enterprise and rented a Mustang convertible and didn't feel bad after driving it though a sandstom in Death Valley.

Turo's .1% is 27, 000 times that renters have had an incident!

The difference between Turo and Hertz here is that Turo admits it and collated to clear it up, but in more than one of the Hertz stories they refused to admit their error for months or even years, leaving the customer to face prosecution.

I see it now they "rent" my airport parked car and the renter gets into a wreck and then my Insurance company refused to pay any claims and dumps me while the "injured" parties sue my ass in court for

The problem with felony stops is that its not like the person is being accused of hurting someone, or kidnapping someone, or anything like that. Its just stolen property. its a thing that can be replaced. "Why are you pointing guns at us?" "Because we thought you might've stolen something." It's insanity.

History making event! First time Glendale PD has ever acted in a calm, rational manner.

I rented a Turo and got charged for tolls but never drove on a toll road. Sleazy.

[ryuuguu]

The guy who put his car up for rent sounds like he should be charged with criminal negligence, for putting the renter's life in danger.

Drawing guns for a non-violent crime, where the suspect is cooperative is excessive force
