- JoeAltmaier 5y agoHm. "Some people" were not guilty of theft. How many were? It hinges on that, and I didn't see those numbers in that article. Pretty hand-wavey. Sure, accusing folks of car theft unfairly is wrong. But it seems easy to resolve: present the contract.

- hodgesrm 5y ago> In a court hearing Wednesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath ordered the annual theft numbers to be made public, siding with advocates for 220 people suing Hertz who argued that more details about Hertz’s internal anti-theft program should be public. The reason there aren't good numbers is that Hertz did not release them. It was ordered by the court to do so as the above paragraph from the article shows. From that decision and the CBS broadcast referenced in the article there's evidence that a non-trivial number of innocent people were arrested due to Hertz' incompetence.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoNot quite understanding that, but I think it says "no numbers in the article", right? CBS broadcasts are not the same thing as data.
