So someone doesn't like surge pricing and decides to wield the heaviest stick they can (the State) against Uber, via antitrust (legislation which shouldn't exist in a free country). Then he has the gall to complain that the company he's trying to sue investigates him in an aggressive and possibly illegal manner. I don't see there's a good guy here. AFAICT, both he and Uber are behaving in a fairly contemptible fashion. For those here who support antitrust legislation (even in cases other than this one), this is worthwhile reading: https://mises.org/library/antitrust-case-repeal https://mises.org/library/antitrust-case-repeal "Professor Armentano begins with the most rigorous and revealing account of the Microsoft antitrust battle to appear in print. He further discusses other recent cases, including Toys `R' Us, Staples, and Intel, as well as many historical cases. He covers nearly every conceivable rationale for antitrust, including price fixing, tie ins, vertical and horizontal mergers, and many more." It's a bit old, but still highly relevant.
