    This is pretty dumb. It’s another instance of how the spirit of the law is ignored to benefit companies.

    Based on the article, it seems to be targetted at apps. But I wont be surprised if enterprising policemen decide to check a bunch of cars with more than one person to get a quick bribe.

    How do they even catch this? Could be just dropping friends.
