No date on the jalopnik page, so maybe it's old news and has been posted here already. If not, enjoy the stupidity:

No good deed goes unpunished.

Looks like 8/4/10 .. ?

I agree, it's bullshit... he'll have to change his business model, but I still think it can be done in a way to fack over the taxi companies. They're all BS anyway.

Amusingly, he was probably hitting a different demographic, cheapskates who don't want to pay for taxis but want to get home so they drink and drive, but that's beside the point.

This is most likely the case.. I understand the legal point, but damn..

Legal point? You mean when they changed the wording of the law to make his actions illegal?

What a crock

I guess I meant the business standpoint of the taxi company. I don't pretend to understand the law anymore.

Depending on the size of the town, I dont see a cab company losing THAT much money off his service. Like one of the comments in the article, most military bases have a program like that, does that mean it would be illegal in their town too? Stupid. MADD and similar programs needs to chime in for this guys defense.
