Both rideshare giants are pushing back against legislation that would require fingerprinting as part of a criminal background check of drivers in the state.

Lyft’s public policy manager, Brendan Joyce, stated that the requirement relies on data from the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information System, which he testified in April is “incomplete” and noted that checks “disproportionately impact and have potential discriminatory effects on communities of color.”

    Step one: force employees to provide biometrics

    Step two: force customers to provide biometrics

    Step three: who cares…we shouldnt ever let step one happen.

    Wait, anyone who works for a vulnerable population is fingerprinted! Cab drivers are already fingerprinted.

    The FBI fingerprint database is incomplete!? Yeah it doesn’t include non-offenders. Man these people are stupid.
