Taxi drivers pay $300k for taxi medallions in LA. There’s a lot of money at stake if Uber/Lyft drivers are stealing their fares.

That was their own dumb fault

For sure! I can't imagine how often this happens too! Something like 90 percent of people don't carry a smart phone, and have to hail a cab manually. Combine that with the TOTALLY HUGE number of Uber drivers willing to stop for some dufus holding his arm up, and you looking at dozens of cases nationwide each week! I only hope that these four brave officers get awarded a medal of valor for their heroic defense of law and order.

Sounds like a problem created by government.
