    Tesla deleted crash information to bot be held liable. So they tampered with evidence, a criminal offense.

    Now the investigation needs to start into who deleted that data and on whose orders and all those people will be sent to jail, right?

    Right?

      You know what, if a company can be a person with the same rights and privileges thanks to citizens United, why can’t a company be jailed? Let’s just say Tesla broke the law and must spend the appropriate amount of time behind bars, unable to do business.

        Or make the CEO’s liable, as they are responsible for overseeing the company. Fine the corporation, fine the CEO, and jail them… it seems they can’t prevent their corporation from causing harm, and need to be held personally accountable

        If their job is so high paying, I figure that’s an acceptable risk of being a CEO. I’d take that offer—making damn sure I’m not having my assets seized and going to prison because someone else is corrupt/criminal

      But… They didn’t delete the data. The hacker found the data. It was there.

      They lied under oath. Aka perjury. Also illegal.

        As I understood the article, they DID delete the data, just that the hacker found it anyways
