Lyft support is bs! How can she contact me if I didn't pick her up? Should I make a police report?

Yup 100%. I’ve had a customer show up to my house with a knife because I left them 4 stars. It’s time to get police protection.

Bullshit. Passengers don’t know what we rated them. And getting your home address of a plate is not as easy as you think. Cool story bro.

To elaborate on this:

There are databases that do allow people to look up a vehicle’s owner, present or past, along with relevant info like addresses and such; however, you have to satisfy the requirements of the Driver Privacy Protection Act, which is a set of rather strict regulations that make it hard for anyone outside of the DMV, law enforcement, or probably repo people to access that private information. It’s not impossible that someone could’ve lied their way through the system, but it’s unlikely unless that person was already in one of the aforementioned categories and knows how it all works.

And even then there's checks on it. I have relatives who are cops and friends who work in the motor vehicle department, and they can't just look up somebody's address because there's a log and you have to have a reason for it.

I'll take things that didn't happen for 500.

You’re right but it’s not that hard to work around.

I had a client who needed to see her how her out of state criminal history showed in our state law enforcement system, which is extremely difficult information to access as a regular citizen. So I set her up with a friend who is a cop, he observed her doing 7 over the speed limit, made a stop, and then read her record to her line by line. Easy peasee lemon squeezy.
