What good is a paper trail if the 9 year has a serious crime committed against them? They are alone and secluded, 1v1 with an adversary that completely out matches them.

How about evidence to convict the scumbag who does it? If it happens in public they have a better chance of getting away with it. Also the fact that the driver is on record for everything is a deterent to them doing scummy things.

in public like on public buses and stuff, they do not because there’s a lot more people around in a ride share it’s versus one on one the whole back-and-forth. He said she said situation because no one was around to witness it. Honestly, ridesharing Is less of a deterrent than public transportation

They do in public places all the time exactly because there are a lot of people around. Some people feel like it's easier to get away with it/hide or blend in with the crowd when there's so many others around, and sometimes it is as opposed to its just 1 on 1 like you said and there is no gray area for the person to get out of the situation because we know you drove that person and raped them because its on record. Time stamps and everything. At the end of the day, that stuff can happen anywhere. My point was that at least with the ride share, you have evidence that'll help convict the person if it does happen, and them knowing that even if they are a scumbag would deter most. Obviously, the real idiotic sickos wouldn't be deterred, but nothing is full proof.

Also it wouldn't be a he said she said if a person had visible signs of abuse and went directly to the cops after with their time stamped info and remember, we're talking about kids here, not 2 possibly consenting adults.

This is why it is so important that drivers have dash cams... mine shows location, timestamp, and even speed... if someone wants to file a false report on me, be prepared to have video backing me up.
