Uber Is Sued by 2 California Counties, Citing Misleading Safety Practices - NYTimes.com

Uber Is Sued by 2 California Counties, Citing Misleading Safety Practices - NYTimes.com: "“Uber does not go above and beyond local requirements in every city in which it operates,” George Gascón, the district attorney of San Francisco, said at a news conference on Tuesday.

In the screening process, Uber and Lyft, another ride-hailing service, do not require drivers to submit their fingerprints for a background check, which the California officials say is the most comprehensive form of driver screening methodology.

“You are not using an industry-leading background process if you are not fingerprinting your drivers,” Mr. Gascón said.

Eva Behrend, a spokeswoman for Uber, said in a statement that the company had met with the district attorneys and would continue discussions with them regarding their concerns."
