In Germany, the raids followed a court ruling banning Uber from operating without a license. In Paris, raids followed an investigation into deceptive practices. And in South Korea, 30 people, including Uber's CEO, were charged with running an illegal taxi service."

    You want to know how to handle it properly and prevent crime? [...] disband the entire Taxi Comission and remove any extra restrictions on the normal cab companies
