N u you mitt want to. You popular Ride Sharing Service hag been locked in bat stleer with t state of maryland over whetherrr it should require fingerprintgei based background checks for itss drivers. Iv okay. Right . And if it doesnt getdot its way uber says theyre goingg to leave maryland for good. Goo. Its a pretty scary pros spec po for a lot maryland errs. Drr bob barnard has been looking non all this morning. Orng joining us with details. Etails bob, i think it makes sense butt apparently some people dont. Whats going on . Reporter well ill tell ill was i just spoke to uber driveri who lives in bowie, maryland ana she told me she has no problem with submitting to fingerprintg background check. She has nothing toback hide. But the company say lit slowitlw down the process of hiring hin drivers. Now, i have spoken this morningg with the Public Servicece commission in baltimore, andre, they are expecting a decisionn today. Da and basically, this would if uber carries out its threat mean they would service the district but not customers in maryland. Basically, what uber, lyft andyd these other ride share companiem are doing is theyre asking the Public Service commission for a waiver because marylander becaul lawmakersan have now required tt these Ride Share Companies higher drivers after they havehv submitted to these fingerprintit background checks. Its now law in maryland that you have to have this backgrouno check done. Done. And again uber and lyft haveyfte asked the Public Service s commission for a waiver, andve a uber says, if they dont get tht waiver, and again, well find w out today, one way or the otherr uber says it is not going to Service Maryland which sounds sd extreme. Extr theyve actually backed out of serving the city of austin,usn, texas, over a similar well see whether uber actuallya carries out its threat but thats wait says its going toot do. The decision will be made todayy the driver we spoke who did notn want to go on camera said the t tough thing bowering as an ubere driver in the suburbs forget the whole background check business you can really make money. Bake o she picks up someone in bowienee and take them to laurel. Orel. Theres not a lot of money to bo made, and to really make theak t money she maryland uberdbe driver needs to come into thee t district where fairs are highere so this is a company uber not made a big profit and now are threatening to leave the state of maryland if they dont get this waiver requiring all theirr drivers to keep the criminalrina element from taking passengerser here and there out of their drivers to make them submit toht this more intense backgroundkgun check, guys. Texas in austin but i think t they worked it out eventually,n, didnt they . Because now youse can take an uber. U i dont know how they work it wr out. Out. Im not sure how it played pd out in austin. Inusti hes uber reporting theyre nothe not making much money. Yes. Why do something that says tt people this is a company thatpaa cares about safety, what does it hurt . It takes more time to tie fingerprint a driver. But ill be more likely to use tu the services if i know its safe. Fe exactly. Put your kid in there. Here your significant other. O i dont know. This is very carry yous. S. Of course we wanted to know what you thought about thians wteholo thing the proposed regulationsio and we asked you on twitter. Twt if you want to weigh tweet us gooddaydc or long on and vote. Heres how you voted so far. Oar were looking closely 80 of yoo say yes, i think they should dod these fingerprints, and 20 of o you say no, that is ridiculous. S so overwhelming majority sayingn do it. T. Im with you. Y im with you. I am too. I dont know what else to say. Im with you. Knoto part of the 80 . T ofhe 8 right. Three hours that poll hasoll been up it stayed at or aroundun 80 . Its not like it suddenly got g blast. Id be curious why thee company is totally against itlyt and not coming out and saying i is why were not going to do iti other than its time consuming. Other than that. Thats not valid. Oth t thatnost awful. Wf its time consuming to protectte the consumers that youret youe catering to. To that sounds stupid. I dont know who in ubersbes case what it is for otheror othr businesses when do you whatevere level background check yourek o doing it costs you more moneyedy to it. Uber base is relying on subcontractors to run theiracto business so if uber has to pay p for all of that theyll see thaa as an invest many they have to choose whether they want to mak or not. You want to stay in businesss maybe they have to changeo ca your Business Model in order for it to work. It to work. All right.
