Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal are calling for investigations into the false arrest allegations and consolidation in the rental car industry. They cited CBS News' reporting as a catalyst for their calls.
Two U.S. senators are calling for the government to examine the practices of rental giant Hertz, whose reports to police of stolen rental cars allegedly led to the false arrests of hundreds of customers. The lawmakers cited CBS News' reporting as a catalyst for their calls.
Warren cited examples from a CBS News investigation into the alleged false arrests, including"a NASA employee who was arrested at gunpoint in Florida and a real estate agent who lost her professional license for a year." The false arrest claims of former Hertz customers were filed in federal bankruptcy court in Delaware. The claims have been placed on hold until the company's bankruptcy case is completed. The judge overseeing the bankruptcy case is currently considering how many of the roughly 230 people who filed claims will be allowed to pursue their cases against the rental company.
Hertz told CBS News it has not seen or received Warren's letter and therefore the company is not in a position to comment. "They've been aware of this for years, and instead of doing the right thing and addressing it, they're trying to sweep this under the rug, even through bankruptcy", Malofiy said. that a surprise traffic stop in Houston in late 2020 turned into a frightening police encounter that made him fear for his life. After completing a project for one of the customers of his renovation company, Tolen was heading home on Dec. 23 in a pickup truck rented from Hertz.
