I looked at the enumerated crimes and I don't see "evading city taxi regulations" in there.

  How about obstruction of justice?

    Point taken. I still think it's absurd to have a federal investigation over some city's taxi regulations being evaded, but at least I can follow the potential legal logic. Thanks for the info.

      Some city? I think Uber willfully and flagrantly evades the taxi regulations of almost every single city that has them.

        So what?
        • npizzolato 9y ago
          So they misled investigators throughout multiple cities across the United States. Therefore, it's a federal issue. This really isn't that hard to understand.

            No. Why it can be made a federal issue has been successfully outlined by others in this thread. Misleading investigators throughout multiple cities, however, isn't the reason.

              It seems to be when it's coordinated by single organization across state lines. That's what turns it from a series of totally unrelated crimes in different states into one nation-wide criminal operation.
