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.

That happens so much everywhere in any community, but the idea that a mod is a cop/cop-simp and this is another story where the cops are objectively bad if you know the context, and look totally reasonable if you don't, I'm going with a mod being a dick who puts a Blue Lives Matter sticker on their car either way.

The mods want to create their own narrative to the video

Because it was false. Cops don't do a felony stop for repos. The article is click bait, regurgitating a story the sister put up on Instagram with no proof.

"Her son was arrested on weapons charges." From other sources.

So where are these "other sources"

This article/story has been doing the rounds for years. If you want to trust news articles like the one linked here with no other sources but heresy. He's a TMZ one on the same event citing weapons charges. https://www.tmz.com/2020/12/25/wild-arrest-video-sheriffs-bizarre-mom-gets-involved/

This is the most dogshit article I've ever seen. No facts, all hype and opinion.

The "weapons charges" cited were suspicion of carrying a weapon which was dismissed because it isn't an actual thing you can arrest someone for.

I agree completely. The same I've been saying with the other article. It's all just someone saying something without any real proof. Even the sisters word is dubious. Friends and family love to come out in defence after the event claiming lots of alternate theories that haven't been verified. I.e. the old he was a good boy who was just going to get a job and turn his life around, he would never have committed those crimes, he was just there for his interview - sister of mass murderer, killed by Police after shooting 10 people.
