Hertz will report the van stolen, and when it gets pulled over several of the guys in back will have to run to the station, change into their uniforms and run back to provide backup.

Sending incontrovertible evidence to the police is the last thing anyone should do. That's just guaranteeing it will never get seen. Post that shiat on YouTube so it gets downloaded and copied before it can be disappeared.

UHaul doesn't vet customers very well. I don't even think they bother to check if you have insurance if you decline theirs. My brother once picked up a moving truck that I had reserved and used a friend's credit card to pay for it. At no point did anyone behind the counter seem bothered with the details.

It funny how stuff gets ignored, until a million people watch it on YouTube, and then something finally happens.

There used to be a website called PINAC - Photography Is Not A Crime that did something like that.

Cops would take somebody's videotape, and laugh when the citizen asked for it back. Then a reporter would cover the story, the article shared on the PINAC website, a few hundred people around the country would call the police station, then the cops would finally return the camera or tape, sometimes with a cash payout.

This used to happen about every week, citizens getting their rights trampled on, and then cops having to apologize. For some reason, there's not a lot of media coverage of either.

"We don't ask customers about their personal views, political affiliations, religious beliefs, voting history, income level, educational background, race, gender, sexual preferences, or any other private information that is none of our business," Lockridge said.

"We're strong followers of equality and freedom of speech" sounds a bit better in any situation except supplying truckloads of Neo-Nazis. I'm surprised he didn't kick a sack full of Nazi gold into a Swiss bank while saying it.

Whew... Had to check to see what they violated in the T&C. I was afraid there was some clause that would have made it illegal to carry girl scout cookies, like some kind of no commerce clause.

That's how we always picked them up, we'd get a U-Haul and be loaded and gone before the people who disassembled an entire pallet, and loaded their car one box at a time. One year, I believe we had 5 1/2 pallets of cookies. 😁

But no such clause, they just violated the "no passengers in the back" clause, which is a HUGE safety issue.

You're missing the point of that statement. They don't ask you what your political views are to rent a truck. They don't ask what you're using it for. If you have the money and a driver's license you can rent. I mean, the guy who signed the paperwork probably didn't sign it Nazi Nicholas, so I don't know how you think that u-haul was going to know.

That is a great amount of weight for the uhaul if people are packed like sardines. Just taking a sharp exit ramp turn at highway speed could put that thing on its side. How friggin poor or cheap or stoopid are they not to rent 15 passenger vans?

I'm not sure it counts as commerce just because you have to use a u-haul to pick up your personal girl scout cookie order.

It may indicate a need for some sort of intervention though.

Nah, nothing like that.  Hell, I've seen UPS rent trailers they can haul for extra volume during peak season and the like.  It's possible they worked out some sort of particular deal, but more likely U-Haul doesn't much care beyond maybe some CYA about illegal usage for liability purposes.

The point of absolving themselves of responsibility? Good enough if someone gets drunk later and slams through a farmer's market. One horrible person vs. a big group is the difference, and that's when it's the PR agent's job to include some language about how they don't condone or support this particular group. "These guys suck and we don't want their business" is PR 101.

When I lived in Minneapolis 30 years ago, the demand for U-Hauls was so great for the four months it probably wasn't going to snow on the 1st that I started scheduling one-way rentals to or from towns like 50 miles away. It was like $75 instead of $20, but I got to keep it for 48 hours. That extra time for loading and unloading was such a luxury.

I'm surprised they didn't have several heatstroke patients just in the transit. This kind of thing requires some work. Track the U-Haul back to the muster point. Photograph the vehicles and license plates*. I'm guessing these guys have some distinctive vehicles, either coal-rolling tricked out trucks, or rust-bucket beaters.

*From a distance with concealment. I think they probably have security because IIRC the parking area at one of their DC rallies got identified and somehow multiple sets of four tires lost all their air pressure.
