abolish car companies, abolish private corporations, and establish a one party socialist state NOW
This is why you don’t buy German. Give German car thumbs down. The mom is brainless. She needs to take both her kids together. Knowing that people leave their children in the car and the kids die of heat all the time. Why am I not surprised. This is why citizens need to carry weapons. If I die protecting my family and get gun down, at least I knew I got a shot at defending myself.
Lazy
Isn't it that third party service, Carnet that should be named in the story title? Volkswagen itself didn't appear to be in control.
Hitler supported VW…enuff said
NAZI'S car at his best
It's always about the money,!!
my cat died because of the preston leak he was in pain has F….. F Uvw NAZI'S car
HOW MUCH DO BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY THE FUZZ TO STOP THE FUZZ FROM SHOOING BLACKS. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL.
VW should have a list of approved official phone numbers so when the police call in from those numbers they can get immediate confirmation and give access to the location. When that happens the car owner should be notified within a day or two that its location was accessed to prevent abuse. There should be strict guidelines on when this can be used.
That might be the most costly $150 Volkswagen has ever made.
Of course not. Same people that deem it too expensive to put backseat warnings for seatbelts. Oh wait that’s every car company.
Volkswagen can stick their Nazi cars where the sun don’t shine.
I see NBC is doing their part in protecting the criminals! They gave a description of the perps EXCEPT for their race! The mom knew their race, the good Samaritan knew their race and the cops knew their race! But, since NBC is a democrat owned and affiliated news outlet they protect their criminals by withholding vital information! Yet they have to gall to call out Volkswagen for actions that delayed finding the criminals? HYPOCRITES!
Sounds like accessories after the fact
I'll remember that next time I'm looking for a car it won't be a BMW. The guy is full of s*** they're just greedy
Seems normal for business, $$$ first, lives second.
SUE the company, and get a refund.
OMG I can't believe they would do that..VW would not help..unbelievable
🙏🙏🙏
I’m sick and tired of the “Suspects”being identified as such . WE ALL KNOW WHO IS COMMITTING THE CRIME..💩🍗🍟🤦🏾♂️
Everyone is knocking VW, but remember Car-Net needs to be held accountable here too.
To be fair it's CAR-NET not VW.
Any description of the primates
Absolutely disgusting. 🤮Disgusting that someone ran over a pregnant mom. You know she is already overwhelmed trying to take care of probably a baby and a toddler. Now she has to limp around or be confined to bed. Hope her relationship is good with her parents, because they are going to have to pitch in now so her husband can work instead of caring for her. (I say and assume husband because she’s clearly popping them out in rapid succession). Disgusting that Car Net doesn’t have emergency policies to assist police. Hearing this information, I bet a lot of their subscribers are going to drop that service and they will be out of business, as they clearly should be. Volkswagon, Das Greedy MFers!
That is ridiculous and that is what you run into at all times with any company now. To have morons on the other end as well as I'm sure it probably took them 5 minutes to get through to the right thing to an automated system to start with
$150 wow
Its sad but you can't let safety trump freedom's, warrants are a thing for a reason, you can't just let cops say well it's ok this time
TITLE OF VIDEO:
"USELESS POLICE INVESTIGATORS"
AND OWNER CAN'T INSTALL A TRACKER? RIGHT?
Nazis don't want to be accused of tracking ppl down for the police st.
WHAT? THIS IS NOT THEIR JOBS INVESTIGATING, CHASING OR TRACKING "CRIMINALS"
POLICE CAN INSTALL TRACKER?
OWNER CAN INSTALL TRACKERS?
NO BRAINORS…
What a horrible company VW is. The rampant, craven greed of corporations is bordering on criminal.
Car companies sucks in a matter of emergency, all they do is money first. This not how they treat their customers, and CarNet should be a service given free for a decade not just 5 years
With a baby inside whath kind of monsters exist over f car have same spray in their face.nothing toxis r gular hair spray in their eyes.least left a he keeps d unharmed.
Vw just want to be boycotts… 😂
The only thing that makes me "scared and frightened" is the fact police (and a lot of people) think that private corporations should be required to give information to the state to help investigate crime. They are not cops. They did not put the tracker there to track crimes. They have no legal requirement to give that information.
Is it a terrible situation? Yes. But bowing down to fear and forfeiting rights for these scary situations will end worse for the masses in the end.
Isn't that obstruction of justice???
That is really messed up what they did to the cops
That's why everybody should be able to carry a Pistol no licenses required It's constitutional privilege not your state laws The only reason they are gun laws is so black people can't have them stupid Meanwhile gangsters and criminals get them on a street old day If I want to buy any legal gun right now I can get one So Laws on guns is a waste of time Because criminals get them and carry them anyway As we can see here in america Guns are primitive technology They can be made at home With the right little tools. Remember they were making guns before there was power tools An hour in the wild wild west again
When policies override common sense
Volkswagen needs to be charged with obstruction. They could’ve killed that child
i think the feds need to kick in a law that requires a back door in the tracking device so they can take over in an emergency.
in the same way that the feds can break encryption on devices they should be able to override the status of the service.
