San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo says the proposed ordinance will improve community safety, but some argue such a policy could be harmful to survivors of sex assault.
San Jose is proposing to require Uber and Lyft to report sexual assault allegations to local police but some argue it would be harmful to survivors.In the South Bay, there's a dispute over a proposed ordinance requiring rideshare companies, like Uber and Lyft, to report sexual assault allegations to local police but some argue that such a policy could be harmful to survivors of sex assault.
The proposal is backed by Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen who says that talks with rideshare companies about the ordinance started months ago. "We are one of the groups that went to Uber and said, do not share survivors confidential information without their consent." she said, "That's bad practice and we would really be against any kind of sharing like that."At the end of Thursday's press conference on the ordinance, Liccardo said he expected the response from rideshare companies.
