The thing is the idea of a crime + jailing is a legal matter, right? Let's say driver sticks to "idk what happened" and Lyft says "he did it we kicked him off our network", and then dashcam footage shows a passenger taking the carrier.
Lyft doesn't have the ability to investigate without speculating, it'd be a horrible idea for them to assert anything, though I'm 99.999% sure it was the driver too (based on the assumption a naive passenger would assume it was the driver's and it they took it, the driver would see them exit with the carrier)
- singleshot_ 3y agoWhy doesn’t Lyft have the ability to investigate?
- refulgentis 3y agoThey can't, for example, issue a subpoena forcing the driver to produce any dashcam footage.
- singleshot_ 3y agoSure, but they can ban him from driving until he does. I'd say they probably have a better capacity to investigate than the police in this circumstance.
- refulgentis 3y agoAbsolutely. This comment and the comment I replied to are worlds apart in tone and suggestion, that's why I replied to it the way I did but am seemingly breezily amenable to yours.
- happytoexplain 3y agoI'm not totally following, but it sounds like you're extrapolating my opinions. Lyft does not have to assert anything they do not have confidence in. Logically, the minimum statement they could make is "we don't know how the cat got out and are investigating." > Lyft doesn't have the ability to investigate without speculating They do: If they ask the driver what happened and quote him, or report that he could not be contacted, then they are not speculating.
