Yes, but for evading city taxi regulators?!?

  Nationwide? Yes (at least arguably). At that point, it's a nationwide conspiracy. (Note: I do not know if this probe is about more than one city. If it's only about Portland, my argument does not hold.)

    The mafia-like, protectionist taxi regulations should be considered the true conspiracy, IMHO.

      Isn't that up to the cities?
      • bogositosius 9y ago
        Sure. And that's why the feds should stay out of it.

          > Cities make laws that are up to them > Company seemingly undergoes systemic effort to break such laws in cities across state lines > Fed gets involved to investigate possibility of racketeering Not seeing the problem here...?

            >Not seeing the problem here...? Nope. Let the cities enforce their own laws.

      The taxi cabs aren't all one company though. Most taxi cab companies operate in one city. Additionally, lobbying is not a federal crime.
