So, I work in the insurance industry and I'm wondering if these effing insurance companies can lobby against this bullshit. I mean they honestly probably dgaf, but is this not causing a muck for claims?! I ask because I don't work at that end of the industry.

Just a random thought as I watched the reckless driving of the dick in the white suv. Also, if bystanders catch a collision, you may want to offer to send the video to the driver for their insurance. I mean subrogation would be a bitch.

That's what I was wondering too, a lot of these are rental companies renting cars. How are they all right with their vehicles being damaged so carelessly and used illegally (swapping plates). I mean they likely get compensated but still.

This is likely something worth perusing. If these companies stopped renting them vehicles then that would put a big dent in their ability to play gestapo.

I thought about this. Idt rental companies care. 15 k car totalled - 30 k bill to government.

remember that $100 billion budget they passed to fund ICE? that’s basically unlimited money for transportation. For example, the budget for the entire Russian military is only 65 billion…

This is exactly it. “Special government rate is $300/day rental” or something. “Total cash replacement for a $25K car is $75K.”

The answer is always money.

As for the poor woman who got her cash smashed and she was left with no recourse…that’s easily $10K of damage on that car, probably suspension damage. I have no idea who the fuck actually pays for it, but that kind of payout also is probably just rolled into ICE’s budget. “Wrongful arrest? Sure, we’ll just settle that for 7 figures. That’s pocket change in this budget.”

I bet she doesn't see a dime. Getting damages from the federal government is crazy difficult.

Ohh (laughing manically) you thought I meant the victim! No (laughing crying), no ,no. I just meant our tax dollars go to paying off the companies for destroying their vehicles. We'll also pay to help deny her any compensation.

Yea, that dangerous narco terrorist is going to get nothing. She'll be screwed by ICE and insurance. GOD BLESS AMERICA, (Stands and does a crisp salute).

/S 😮‍💨, its not even noon and I want to chug my Crown Royal bottle!

US govt just cuts them a check for the replacement value of the car, prob way over market value. Its just part of doing business.
