Following the Eastern High Court’s ruling that an Uber driver was guilty of operating an illegal taxi service, Denmark’s prosecuting authority has now filed charges against the popular ride-sharing service itself.
The Danish Prosecution Service (Anklagemyndigheden) and the Copenhagen Police announced on Friday that charges have been filed against Uber BV, the Dutch company behind the Uber app. The company is being charged with abetting drivers’ illegal taxi service.
“It has now been established that the drivers have operated in violation of the taxi laws. Therefore we have filed charges against the company for contributing to these law violations,” Vibeke Thorkil-Jensen, the head of public prosecutions, said in a press release.

It's good that someone starts cracking down on this shoddy service. More countries should follow suit.
