ALL CAR RENTAL COMPANIES HAVE INSTALLED CABIN CAMERAS AIMED AT THE PASSENGERS TO SPY ON THEM 24/7, STREAMING THE FEED-AUDIO AND VIDEO-BACK TO THEIR COMPANIES AND TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. Hertz, Enterprise, etc. ALL OF THEM.
What you say, do...where you go...why you go...it's all recorded and streamed real time. If their algorithms and keywords are triggered, the car is shut down, doors locked with no egress, and the police notified of any perceived crime, even if only talked about. Light a cigarette, you are shut down--the computer thinks its marijuana.
Renting a car today is like inviting cameras and microphones into your showers and bedroom. They see and hear everything you do and say and if they don't like what they hear or see, you are made a prisoner in the car, until such time as the police arrive to search you, your belongings, etc. Consider any expensive cameras, cash, checks, watches, debit cards as ASSET SEIZED at that moment. Police departments all over the country are ecstatic about these new features as it allows them audio and video excuse to rob you of your vacation money, throw you and your family in jail, and even seize the rental car as an asset. You have to pay for with the rental agency, they get to sell it at auction.
This is already happening. For two years now.
The horror stories about this, in every state, county, and city are terrible. You literally have to drive silently, do nothing, say nothing, have nothing, or run the risk of being made a prisoner in your rental car. If you cross state lines on vacation, the car is automatically disabled and locked down, even in heavy traffic.
So much for flying to your destination and seeing relatives in a few states and doing the sights. And for heaven's sake, don't talk politics or anything having to do with criminality, even if it is something you saw on the evening news. What you say triggers the system to create an arrest and asset seizure event.
