Police in Hong Kong arrested 20 men and one woman for illegal car hiring, reports the Independent. The arrest is part of a crackdown on Uber operations in the country. Police opened an undercover investigation this month which led to the arrest of the 21 Uber drivers for illegally driving a car for hire and driving without third-party risk insurance. An Uber spokesperson said that “Uber was extremely disappointed by police action.” “Ridesharing should not be a crime. Hong Kong is an international city known for its embrace of global economic trends and new technologies, but current transportation regulations have failed to keep up with innovation,” Uber said in a statement. Police in Hong Kong stated that Uber drivers need to ensure cars for hire are equipped with a permit as required by Hong Kong laws.
