These people who write nasty emails to Uber or LYFT all upset And act like beyond offended and like there privacy was just taken from them violently all because that they were recorded In a Uber, WHEN YOUR PROB RECORDED by Thousands of Cameras a week anywhere ya go, and ANY CALL YOU MAKE TO A BUSINESS RECORDS YOUR AUDIO. SO WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM TO HAVE A DRIVER HAVE A CAMERA FOR HIS SAFTEY AND FRAUD PROTECTION. Seems like the ones who have a problem with it are usually the ones who are the kind of riders you don’t want to have in your vehicle.
so when your in your next Uber smile for the camera and make sure to give your Uber driver 5 Stars and a 30% tip!
Here is the link to the site listing the federal and each state law on Recording someone. REMEMBER JUST CUZ YOU DONT LIKE SOMETHING OR AGREE WITH IT DOESNT MAKE IT WRONG AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POORLY RATE A DRIVER BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THERE SAFTEY AND YOURS as well as fraud prevention! IF THERE WERENT SO MANY FALSE MADE UP LIES SENT VIA TEXT TO UBER OR LYFT FROM RIDERS TRYING TO SCAM A FREE ride or discount PROB WOULDNT BE SO MANY DRIVERS RECORDING. AND FOR SOMEONE WHOS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVER BEHAVIOR SEEING THAT THEY ARE RECORDING THE VEHICLE AND CONVERSATION SHOULD HONESTY BE SOMETHING POSITIVE, CUZ I DOUBT SOMEONE WOULD FILM THEMSELVES IF THEY WERE GONNA DO
