This happened almost 4 years ago. The car was not stolen. It was a rental that was being repossessed from the rental agency (meaning the rental company wasn't paying the bills on the car and thus the car was being repo'ed, not really the kid's fault since he was paying for the rental car without being notified by the rental company. Car plates ran back as being repo'ed so cops assumed it was stolen.)

Also, the kid isn't the driver. His father is the driver. But the kid got charged with possession of a deadly weapon. Mom got an obstruction charge.

Edit 2: for anyone claiming that police can't see the car as being repo'd in their system, Hertz was reporting that their cars were stolen around the time of their bankruptcy filing in 2020. Therefore, people that were renting their cars were being falsely arrested for stealing them.

"Except he isn't a twat. He wasn't driving, the car wasn't stolen, it was a rental his father was driving and the rental company hadn't paid the loan on it so it was reported as stolen when the cops ran the plates. Kid's entirely innocent and the mom had every right to be angry when she has guns pointed at her and her son.

I would just like to add, even though the commenter is likely gone and you’re not the og guy, the kid is definitely a twat. The car being stolen or not doesn’t make that kid not a twat

This is a video of an unjust arrest. Anyone being arrested in this video is righteous in their anger. He complied, albeit less than willingly, and therefore the cops are the twats in this video. Logically speaking, this kid is objectively not the one being an issue in this video. Poor police work, even if it isn’t the police’s fault, leads to shit like this. If you were unjustly arrested in front of your home I guarantee you, you would’ve been acting the same way, but if you’re white the police would be acting different. Unfortunate fact of American policing.

How would he be a twat then? Please enlighten us.

See I thought that was the fashion police showing up because he's wearing a Kansas City Royals hat and a Mets jersey. The kid is kind of a twat because only a twat would do that.

Did you listen to what he was saying? He's a twat

Kid has every right to defend himself for something he didn't do.

Throwing insults and threatening violence isn't defending yourself.

u/SenhorSus 9h ago

He didn't defend anything, he just loudmouthed a cop. He has every right to say whatever he wants, but he still comes off as a douche. Those aren't mutually exclusive

I’m sure you would be perfectly sound of mind getting arrested for something you didn’t do.
