It’s the only car manufacturer in the city with this problem, how is it the police’s fault?
And P.S. the police in the city have been handing out steering wheel locks and educating affected owners, so I believe you are misinformed.

- plagiarist 3y agoSorry, just to get this clear, you are likening an argument over a manufacturer creating defective products with arguments that might come from a rapist's defense attorney?
- Chris2048 3y agoThe argument isn't comparing the manufacturers liability, but that of the people choosing to steal the cars in the first place - why is it relevant how easy the cars are to steal?
- plagiarist 3y agoBecause human nature is a bit more complex than "car thief or not."
- jyrkesh 3y agoIf I buy a front door lock that has a systemic manufacturing problem and someone breaks into my house, I might want to sue the manufacturer. But if someone breaks into my house--regardless of whether it was unlocked, the lock was defective, or they broke a window--and the police are negligent or incompetent in investigating or prosecuting the perpetrators, in what world is that a) not the police's fault? and b) an opportunity for the _police_ to sue the _manufacturer_? If I start a cultural movement to get rid of front door locks and it gains traction, and then B&Es spike, can the police sue _me_ too?
- plagiarist 3y agoIf you make a lock that is recognizable and easily broken to the extent that B&Es double nationwide, I don't see a problem with cities suing you over it. I don't know why you want to try and link the idea of a cultural movement? There's very clearly a difference between a defective product and a deliberate decision.

- horns4lyfe 3y agoYes, they’re the same.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoIf your house does not have a lock and everyone knows it then yea, that's your fault.
- xdennis 3y agoIt's the government's fault for allowing criminals to run loose. It's their job to deal with criminals regardless of how capable the victims are to protect themselves. When you see an Asian granny being beaten up you don't sue her for being so easy to beat up.
