The media is having a hard time separating Uber "policy" on weapons from what is "legal".

Sounds like a probable self-defense case given the non-committal information from the PD and DA.

Ya know, technically the Uber policy against weapons IS the law because its part of an EULA. Any violation of an EULA can technically become a violation of law under the DMCA.

(not a lawyer ... I expect the legal beagles to come out here and tell me I'm wrong ... who knows, maybe I am)

I'm not real fond of rap music either...

For the website...

Uber Firearms Prohibition Policy

Our goal is to ensure that everyone has a safe and reliable ride. That's why Uber prohibits riders and drivers from carrying firearms of any kind in a vehicle while using our app.*

Anyone who violates this policy may lose access to Uber.

* To the extent permitted by applicable law.

Sounds like the "punishment" is that you "may" lose access to Uber (but given firearms law in CO with vehicle rights, who knows if they could actually do even that).

Sounds just like every other job. Get caught with gun, lose job, go get a different job.

Have to use gun, lose job, be thankful you only lost a job instead of your life, go get different job.

[Gman]

That would explain the email I got about I-25 being closed at University for a police investigation.

More mumbo jumbo...

I love how they say "Uber prohibits..."

Why would you:
A- Allow a complete stranger in your vehicle?
B- Get into a vehicle with a complete stranger?

And don't give me the "Well its the same if you get into a Taxi, airplane, bus, train etc.." line
It isn't the same

I agree. I have used Uber once, and that when the repair shop called one for me to take a 5 minute ride back to my office in the middle of the day. And guess what, I violated their weapons policy...

Why is it different?
