I live in europe, too. That kind of lawyers can be very expensive for common people. Most of us don't dream to sue companies/cops and even less so with famous lawyers as legal advice. The closest we have is consumers associations who will take complaint and in some cases start legal actions.
In this case it's even more complicated, because the company is at fault for making an administrative error in declaring stolen vehicles, but the heart of the scandal is that the police followed through on baseless claims and abused their power on random people. As always, the cops are the real criminals here, but where i come from (France) there's close to zero chance to get any form of justice against cops even in the most egregious cases of murder and rape.
> are we just waiting for "Hertz pays X millions to falsly arrested mother" to appear in the newspapers?
Now that a big newspaper has covered the story and revealed there's hundreds of cases, that's probably what's gonna happen.
