perhaps, but it appears (given the Regulators behavior) that the burden would be on me to prove that I didn't "profit" (or intend to profit), and they could also come after you the passenger for violating the taxi-monopoly-laws.
The problem isn't Uber, it's the laws.
- eesmith 4y agoWhich behavior do you refer to? How many people has this happened to? How hard was it to demonstrate non-guilt? The only English language resources I can find deal specifically with people involved with Uber and Uber-like systems.

- eesmith 4y agoYes, I read your earlier statement. Now what do you mean by the Regulators behavior?
- stevenalowe 4y agoYou seem to be missing the point but I’ll play along - multiple warrantless searches, attempts to entrap drivers, et al as described the article.
- eesmith 4y agoThe article mentions nothing about warrantless searches or entrapment. The word "warrant" appears once: "Uber turned over records not initially available to authorities after they produced a second search warrant." The word "trap" does not appear at all. Is this the "entrapment"? ] The company, which had received a tip that an enforcement action was coming, learned that authorities were using people that Uber described as “mystery shoppers” to order rides with the intention of impounding the vehicles when drivers arrived. It doesn't seem to fit the definition of entrapment.
