Was just watching a youtube video where two female passengers got in his car. The two girls are friends and going to the same destination. One of the young ladies was very nice, while the other one was a complete obnoxious bitch who needed some attitude adjusting.

When you ask the passenger(s) to get out of your car and they say no, what's the law on being able to get out, walking to the back door, and grabbing them and throwing them out of your car if they refuse to leave you car?

Seems like a waste on police resources for stupid shite like this to have answer this call every time this situation comes up.

Get on the interstate and start driving the opposite direction of their destination. They will be begging to get out.

I believe there are rules where the UBER driver can cancel the trip and kick the passengers out.

Right, but what if they refuse to get out?

Find the nearest police station and pull into the parking lot? That should work 99% of the time.

I guess that would work, but I think I'd rather tase them and drop 'em off on the curb.

I'm no legal scholar but the law usually frowns on throwing people.

It also frowns on a person bei g in your private property. Isn't your vehicle deemed the same as your dwelling because of Uber?

I thought that definition was settled in court.

That logic would make the rider essentially a tenant, right?

This is what a friend of mine did that drives. 3 out of 4 people were nice, but the 4th kept kicking the seats and being an arse. He asked him to stop a couple times nicely, then told him if it happens again the ride is over right there on the interstate. 4th stopped for a couple minutes. They were like a quarter mile from destination at claiborne and napoleon and dude acted up again. My friend turned around on claiborne and drove to the police station by the quarter. He called 911 as he turned around and explained he was scared for his own safety, wanted to stay on the line with the dispatcher, and would be driving right into the cop motor pool entrance. Pulled into the gate, police took them out, he pulled back out in less than a minute and grabbed a rider from a block away. Plus, he got the total trip distance from the first ride, all the way to the police station.

Sure, and being belligerent is breaking the lease contract that the rider agreed when installing Uber.
