Its not some mass nefarious scheme that the cops are heroically saving society from.

For people who dont know how this sting works and whats going on here. The undercover police officers are portraying someone whose phone is dead but looking for a ride from someone that works for Uber, Lyft, rideshare, etc. See normally you have to use the app, because it tracks down the rides you give and how much money you make for tax purposes. But since the undercover police officers are acting like their phone is dead, they are looking to pay a driver without using the app, so the driver would make money under the table and not have to pay taxes on it. They are worried about the fucking 6% of taxes someone might skip out on $20 when in reality this sort of emergency might really happen to someones phone that really died and is looking for a ride home with their kids with them.

Its really messed up that the cops are doing this for so many reasons. Is it a legit citation? Sure, but they are the ones making the situation in the first place causing a trap, and its fucking bullshit, this is why we cant have any one help each other out anymore.
