The police in prison? They had an arrest warrant. People with warrants all have a story or an excuse. This is solely on Hertz. Should the front line Hertz office people be arrested as well for simply telling people that corporate policy does not allow them to rescind arrest warrants?
They arrested some one under false pretenses so yes they are responsible. When a bank is robbed the get away car driver is as responsible as the guy that went in the bank with the gun taking the money, no? All should be arrested , top to bottom . We have too much stupid these days
So it's the job of the patrolman to confirm with the individual who generated the warrant who should then confirm with the company who filed the report that their initial report is currently valid?? And if he doesn't do all of that then he's liable?
Is it really the responsibility of the police to determine the veracity of the warrant before performing the arrest? They‘re not really equipped to do so, and I’m not certain that I want them to determine which warrants they will, or won’t, execute. That very much puts the law solely in their hands. The whole purpose of judicial review is to perform that oversight of what is legitimate and what isn’t.
Police in prison?. . . For arresting people that a court ordered arrested? There's blame to go around in this case, but it doesn't belong to the police. Arrest warrants don't have any case details that a police officer can refer to in real time. They don't really have much choice but to arrest, as long as the warrant is verified as "active". Just keeping this discussion real. . . .
Who is responsible for the miscarriage of justice? It has to start some where. Choice? there is always a choice. Who will compensate the falsely arrested ?
Indeed.
+1 Which is why they'll be ones who are compensating victims.
This is a statement you would expect to hear from an idiot on the street, not a spokesperson for a major corporation. Cars are frequently reported stolen but then later found by the owner. The police are used to that situation and have systems in place to handle it properly.
right after they blamed the police for something that is completely their fault.
like this and soon we won't have any, imagine that.No- law enforcement is culpable as well as Hertz. Some of those renters were treated like garbage and jailed even when there wasn't a crime committed. Even after the Hertz situation was well publicized.We keep blaming our officers for crazy

That's a good point. You need to have the contract in that packet when you drive a rental car. Here is where I don't get the Police rational. Valid contract-did they think the contract was a sophiscated forgery and the vehicle in question was actually stolen?
