Well I don't know if the TLC cares and obviously you don't care, however it does apparently seem to be that the Taxi drivers care, hence the reason of the STRIKE! Maybe we need some more people caring here in the States instead of saying I don’t give a sh!t?

It is good to see that their are still a few people that will take a stand for THEIR rights! You go Taxi Drivers, because nobody else will do it for you!

"U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman refused to block the rule from taking effect, saying the use of the technology to improve taxi service appeared to outweigh drivers' privacy rights. He urged the two sides to negotiate and set the next hearing for Oct. 10."

They are negotiating… The judge and perhaps a few others just don’t like what they are negotiating about. What else should the discussion be about, the size of the LCD screen?

I wonder how many people are going to start complaining about Mayor Bloomberg’s new commuter Congestion Pricing/taxation or the NY MTA with their upcoming outrageous fare hike proposal? Yea yea yea I know. Just shut up and go along with the program. Let the city/state/government/corporation/whomever impose whatever they want to impose upon you. Just pay your taxes and keep your mouth shut! The only right you have is the right to pay your taxes “ON TIME” and legalized extortion! That is one way how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!

It must be the cabbies fault from swindling the customer out of million/billions of dollars! We need those GPS in their cabs to monitor their activities and make sure they are being fair to their customers. Meanwhile look at what the city does and nobody peeps a word! Pathetic!

Yea… go ahead and flame me… but it’s true!
