Re: prove innocence
"why would Lyft not cooperate?"
Because their leadership are stupid and short-termist.
They've done the calculation and decided that news stories about sexual assaults due to their doing the bare minimum they can get away with is better than investigating properly and weeding out the predatory employees.
Basically, marginally reduced business vs massive costs of better background checks, the delay that adequate checks incur that mean fewer drivers apply and get through and that reduce the speed they can expand.
This is why we need proper regulation - we can rely on business to do the bare minimum. When more is needed from business we need more than pressure from the press.
I'm surprised politicians aren't all over this already. Possibly they take a similar attitude to the businesses that also don't give a f about the people they serve.
