https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/ ... 10521.html The Met have written to TFL regarding Uber not reporting sex crimes and assaults to the police. Are they to big to be denied a license to operate in London ? |

Uber ‘fails to report sex attacks’, police claim in damning letter Uber is failing to report serious crimes including sexual assaults in order to protect its reputation, according to a Metropolitan Police chief. Inspector Neil Billany, head of the force’s taxi and private hire unit, said he had “significant concern” that the firm seemed to be “deciding what [crimes] to report”. Uber said the comments did not reflect its “good working relationship” with the police. Insp Billany claimed Uber was “allowing situations to develop that clearly affect the safety and security of the public” by keeping police in the dark about certain alleged offences and telling officers only about “less serious matters” that were “less damaging to its reputation”. Alleged cases – outlined in a letter to Transport for London seen by the Sunday Times – include at least six sexual assaults on passengers, two public order offences and an assault. The claims come as Uber faces a licence review in London, one of hundreds of cities worldwide where the app-based car hire service operates. Transport for London, which will determine whether to extend Uber's licence, said the alleged failure was “totally unacceptable”. Director of service operations Peter Blake said: “We take any concerns about the reporting of sexual and violent incidents extremely seriously and have worked closely with the Met to ensure appropriate action has been taken against these drivers. “Any delay in reporting serious crimes is totally unacceptable and we have been in contact with the operator to ask them to respond to these concerns." London Assembly transport committee chair Caroline Pidgeon told the Sunday Times: "This apparent cover-up of reports about such serious criminal activity is shameful." Uber said it took complaints very seriously and always worked with the police on investigations. But the firm said it respected that people may not always want to report allegations to the police. A spokesman said: "We were surprised by this letter as in no way does it reflect the good working relationship we have with the police and the extensive support we provide. “Our team includes former Met Police officers who work closely with the police and act quickly to respond to complaints. “If there is a serious incident involving a licensed driver they are prevented from using our app and TfL is promptly notified. We advise people to report serious incidents to the police and support any subsequent investigations, but respect the rights of individuals to decide whether or not to make such reports." |

Since when has Uber, has any operator, had the right to decide if a crime has been committed and if charges should be brought to the notice of the law authorities? Maybe a charge against Uber of 'perverting the course of justice' should be made. Personally I think Uber are in trouble with this one. |

This is getting more press coverage by the minute,do not think this one will be swept under the carpet,just have to wait and see who is 1st to receive the chop or looses their bottle and resigns,brown envelopes will not overcome this problem. |

The letter from the police helps no end those in the London Assembly who want rid of Uber, and I suspect there are many. It would also help, IMO, a court to support any council that withdrew it's operator license. |
