Black Mother and Daughter File Lawsuit After Being Terrorized by Racist Uber Driver During Ride
“This guy should not be driving. I work in law enforcement. If someone wants to volunteer at the jail, they have to have extensive background check just to visit an inmate,” Milligan told The State. “Just as Uber drivers have to have insurance on their vehicles, there needs to be another prerequisite for safety, like a camera installed in every vehicle.”
Milligan wants Uber to reexamine their safety protocols. “Making sure that if something does happen to somebody, that they have a panic or emergency button. That way… we can track it down and get to some help,” she stated.
Uber has released a statement, confirming that they have removed the driver’s ability’s to work for the company. “Everyone has a right to feel safe when using the Uber platform and what these riders experienced is extremely upsetting,” reads the statement. “We have a clear non-discrimination policy and we have removed this driver’s access to the app.”
