CCW while using Waymo or Uber

Colion Noir just put a video out about this exact thing. Some kids got into a waymo with a gun around 4AM, it pulled over and the police showed up.
 
Probably nothing because it's not illegal it's just a policy. If you get out of the car when asked there's nothing more that can happen I would think. In my CCW class they basically said the same, that they have to specifically ask you to leave
In the scenario I posted, the driver does not ask you to leave first, calls leo and lets them handle the "policy"

Yeah police can only enforce laws, not policies. The Uber policy penalty is revoking your membership it appears. I don't know about you but if an Uber driver just pulled over and sat there I would just leave.
 
Concealed is concealed. They and any private company can discriminate/decide which patrons they do NOT want to serve. We've all seen the "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service signs. They cannot discriminate a Federally protected class and we all know we are not a Federally protect class (yet).

If you take a Uber to drop off a letter at the Post Office, then stop and get a sandwich at a restaurant that services alcohol, then get on a train or bus that passes within 1000 feet of a school or playground or school, then take go to a public park, before you head in to the library, then drop into the County Clerks office to pay your taxes then off to vote . . . Well then my friend you might have have an issue. Lol

I wasn’t aware of this and have ridden in many an uber while armed. As others stated above the only way someone would ever know is if you were put in a situation where you had to save your own life. At that point are you worried about violating a corporate policy?
 
Be a member of SAF or FPC and be able to legally carry in/around the post office (assuming it’s not otherwise illegal to do so such as a post office inside the bounds of other federal property or some other restricted area).
Nah . . . I think I’ll just keep it concealed, just like I’ve been doing for the last 15 or so years.

I mean I guess, but the peace of mind and extra insurance if it becomes a complicating factor related to some other event afterwards is worth the like $5/month or something that it costs to me. Federal crimes are no joke.
 
I'm surprised people aren't aware that there are cameras inside the car and can have human review. For Waymo, if its their policy, then they have the right to monitor what happens inside the car so you don't use the car for a drive by or as a getaway car. It's kinda dumb but criminals aren't always the brightest. They test the limits and people who don't want any limits will complain. What about muh freedom!!!
 
Wonder if it would take you to the gun range and you enter with an arsenal in a guitar case.
I lived in a condo tower in San Francisco for 8 years and shot a lot. I did indeed use a soft guitar case. Conversations in elevator were about how I was learning to play the guitar. Completely serious. It was just easier to misdirect and a case of ignorance was bliss. One day, the HOA had someone inspecting the sprinklers. We were given plenty of warning so it wasn’t a surprise. I like to be compliant with legit inspections (I could envision liability should I not let them in and I have sprinkler malfunction). I keep everything in a locked safe but I had covered everything up as they walked around doing the inspection. Turned out there was one in a closet I wasn’t aware of and I hadn’t covered that up. Were a bunch of ammo cans. Person inspecting the sprinklers had a subtle half second pause so I know he saw them. For months I wondered if something would come of it via HOA letter or some sort of law enforcement knocking on my door. Never did happen. No good can come from folks knowing if you have firearms.
 
Colion Noir just put a video out about this exact thing. Some kids got into a waymo with a gun around 4AM, it pulled over and the police showed up.
In this case the two minors were waving an illegal and fully loaded AR rifle around in the back seat at 4:00 AM. After the high-risk felony stop the SF PD found the illegal rifle (an un-serialized ghost gun with scary features), plus a bunch of pot and some MACE.

So, Waymo detected the weapon, called SF PD, and finally then pulled over so the SF PD could conduct the felony stop.

Good work all!
 
Amazing timing. This happened this week. I would guess that these youngsters were handling said ghost gun in the car and that Waymo cameras (there are many inside the car) use AI to detect such an object and alert the staff. Waymo staff aren't monitoring all car videos in real time but they do have a staff that can see the video feed if needed.

If you put a pistol bag in the back I'm not sure they would know what it was. A rifle bag....maybe? But again, I don't know if the robots would alert staff to a long suitcase.

That is what triggered my question. There might also be a case of wrongful imprisonment by Waymo if the car didn’t let the kids out.

Look. Waymo technology identified a firearm, flagged it, notified LEO, and pulled over without any warning. The kids were idiots and clearly not following the law, but in this conversation, their conduct is secondary to the main point being made.

Why wouldn't the report an egregious felony? There's no situation where those kids were doing anything remotely legal
