In my area, Turo is the lowest cost for car rentals, and they just act as a middleman between someone with a car and someone without one. They may have some vehicles of their own, but most of their fleet are not cars they own. It could just be people were going for the lowest cost form for their killing & destruction.
I’ve rented through Turo and they just have you take a photo of your drivers license, front/back. No one confirmed it when picking up the car. It could be that their prescreening is flawed and fake IDs were not being detected? I’d have to imagine this violated state laws, so if they were found to not be validating the information, they are probably in some shit.
Presumably even if those IDs were checked, I doubt both those people have priors. This sort of terrorism is different from other crimes in that they don’t start with ‘small time’ terrorism.
Right, if it was a failure to catch fake IDs, my guess is the fake id would be to evade getting caught after the fact, regardless if they had any history on their record. I haven’t looked into anything really for both cases but I’d imagine the people at Turo are scrambling double time now.
Yeah, a lot of the justice/surveillance system is set up under the premise that you need to catch a criminal after the crime, so when a car is involved in a crime, you go to the rental company and grab the driver’s licence. If dying or getting caught is part of your plan, none of these things are actually a deterrent.
The truck used in New Orleans earlier today was also rented through Turo. Is this a coincidence?

Coincidences happen.
Probably the only way to get a cybertruck for relatively cheap?
Well, their insurance rates are gonna take a beating at this rate.
Haha, yeah.
