Former Taco Bell Exec Suing Uber Driver He Assaulted On Dash Cam Video For $5M

COSTA MESA (CBS SF) — The former Taco Bell executive who apologized after attacking an Uber driver in an incident caught on dash camera footage is now suing the driver for $5 million.
Benjamin Golden is suing Uber driver Edward Caban for damages after he says he was illegally filmed while riding in the car in Costa Mesa. Golden’s lawyers told CNBC that Caban is to blame for any injuries he suffered during the attack.
Golden lost his job with Taco Bell after video captured by a dashboard-mounted camera showing a drunken Golden repeatedly hitting Caban, grabbing his hair and slamming his head against a window went viral. His lawyers will seek to have that video barred from evidence in Caban’s case against Golden over the attack.

You can't be illegally filmed while riding in a privately owned vehicle. This guy continues to be a douche.

He has no case. There is no way that is oral communication as defined by both the federal and state statutes

I'm sure there's a legit argument, but that doesn't make the act excusable at all, and I would be greatly disappointed if the video was ruled inadmissible in court.

How is this even seeing a courtroom?
"It's your fault I beat you up while drunk because I didn't know you were recording me in your private vehicle. Give me 5 million dollars, which you obviously have since you were driving for Uber."

How does this even make sense? Care to explain how the driver made this douche bag move his muscles and attack him?

He was in Promotions or manager of the Anti-diarrheal department or something.

it's like how if i beat you up i'd be facing a low misdemeanor battery but if i threaten to beat you up on here it's a much more serious misdemeanor (and possibly a felony). these states that have anti-taping laws make them serious business

Cane's or Chick-Fil-A executives would never stoop to this.
They're just a higher caliber of people.

IIRC, the driver tells the guy that he's filming him, hoping that will end the beating. IF there is a statute about filming the unaware, that should take care of it.

i'm going to guess it's the "College rape" excuse
"i was drunk and couldn't consent to the filming"

Please explain what legit argument this guy has.

what do you do if you can't afford a lawyer for a case like this? That's go to suck, I bet half of the plaintiffs case is hinging on the defendant not getting a competent lawyer due to one costing thousands.
