Uber Shuts Down In Kansas Because Of Stricter Background Checks
Kinda self explanatory. I guess this shows how much they are interested in running a legitimate car service...how bad are their drivers that they cannot deal with back ground checks and commercial insurances?

Uber Shuts Down In Kansas Because Of Stricter Background Checks
Uber has cut off operations in Kansas after the state legislature overrode the Governor’s veto of a bill that would impose tighter background checks on drivers and increase the insurance the company would need to provide to workers in the state.
The Republican-controlled Kansas Senate has overridden Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of bill that would require every Uber driver to undergo a background check through the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and boost their insurance above the $1 million that Uber currently offers to drivers while logged into its network.

Because there is no reason for government to stick their nose in where it is not needed. This push against companies like Uber is driven by the corrupt and poorly run taxi industry. There is no logical reason what so ever to have background checks for uber drivers, nor is there any logical reason what so ever for them to have to have MORE than a $1m policy they are already covered under by Uber.

The fact that there have been incidents with uber drivers warrants background checks.. Why should there not be background checks for people who for lack of a better term, "taxi" people around.

So no, I don't see the big ****ing deal, as to "incidents" what are the numbers 1 in 100,000? 1 in 500,000? that does not justify the government sticking their noses into private companies.

You do realize taxi drivers don't get any kind of background check right? ANY moron can drive a taxi.

You both fail at libertarian views. The market will deal with it, if company A produces meat that harms some people they will stop being able to sell their product as company B steps in with a better product.

That won't change the fact that YOUR 4 yr old daughter and wife has DIED from it
It should not take deaths or disease from consumers for the company to either change practices or close down .
Its not the peoples stupidity that caused the mad cow, they don't have the info on which company puts out tainted meats if their aren't any regulations.

Again "Bear logic" at its finest.
You sir should move your *** to another country where they don't have regulations that protect consumers/people.

Google 'Uber kidnappings' and read through some of the results...below remains my favorite...Taxi cab companies are no angels, but it seems their companies and drivers are a lot more invested and legitimate than fly by night part time Uber weirdo drivers. But, hey, cheap rates are cheap rates. Right?

Uber's background checks remain trivial to get around. Now their lax standards have resulted in another kidnapping. This time, a scofflaw driver in Washington D.C. took a group of out-of-town visitors for a "wild ride."
