#2This is so awful it's hard to even believe. It does feel like there needs to be some threat of a company being completely dissolved in cases like this or Equifax or other problems this big that the organization has shown no interest in stopping

#3Paying fine doesn't seem enough.
Someone needs to go to jail.

Precisely. Nothing happens until the individuals responsible pay a penalty. If an exec knowingly, or through negligence, causes a person to be arrested, that person needs to pay up personally. If they did it to protect their own position, then jail time is appropriate. Falsely reporting a crime is a crime.

Qualified immunity makes some sort of sense for actual cops, perhaps, but makes absolutely ZERO sense for a corporation and its executives.

#6These stories are awful - this wasn't just an administrative headache for people, they served real time and has real consequences.
Filing a false police report is a crime, it would be nice to see that enforced against the company in one way or another.

I hate this ridiculously unfair double standard. If someone costs a company money, we ruin their life. If a company ruins someone's life, we charge the company money.
If a cashier at a fast food restaurant takes $30 from the register, they go to jail. If a company steals millions from their workers paychecks, we slap them with a tiny fine.

Until we can get money out of politics nothing will change.

#9From the article:
In its release, Hertz says they believe “a meaningful portion of the settlement” will be covered by insurance so ‘no big deal’ to them what they did to customers, at least for investors. Meanwhile their CEO shrugs in an included statement saying they “will not always be perfect.”

i hope the insurance company takes a look in the documents and tells Hertz to go f** themselfs...
No way that the insurance company would cover negliance and fraud...
