what cam is this? mind sharing? i think i need something like this too

unfortunately, there's no way of telling who ur picking up or what background they have.

we don't know the sex or their names from the screen. their uber nick could be just 'Lim' and it can be a 18yrs old dude or 60yrs old auntie.

picked up africans more times than i liked..some fishy ones, some rude ones, some nice ones also, some actually church goers..

once, picked up a chinese 'gangster' of some sort, or at least that's what he told me he does. but i had a really nice conversation with him (1hr journey) and i got a big tip from him at drop off. no problems there.

also picked up couple of indons from Semenyih to Kepong. first thing they ask when they boarded the car, "ini jam ada road-block ka?" later on found out they both without permits.

i guess, if really suey and so happened u have a problematic rider and was stopped by police, i don't think u should be worried since we're drivers. i can't ask them what they're carrying or inspect their bags. i think so long we're driving under uber/grab, we should be fine. unless we're doing offline trips, then its a risk.

i once dropped off a nigerian girl who was moving from puchong to rawang. a few hours and many rides after that only i realized she left a bag in my car on the passenger seat floor. i then put it in the trunk and then went thru a road-block. luckily police didn't stop me. i got worried about what i was carrying and thus inspected the bag. luckily also nothing illegal was in the bag.

*touchwood so far, after more than 1500 trips, nothing unfortunate ever happened to me.

what u propose drivers do?

1) he was not arrested 'just' becos he was driving a criminal. he was arrested & charged & sentenced for possession of firearms and ammo in his condominium

2) the taxi driver knew both the other suspects. they met a couple of times before the murder took place.

3) he was finally cleared of both murder & firearm possession charge after an appeal

there's no need to be rude. reading more news than others don't make u smarter.

back to the original question, what would u have all drivers do? run a background check on riders? check their bags? pat them down for concealed prohibited items?
