Some Uber passengers in Hong Kong have attempted to trick drivers into stopping near police patrols in an effort to “spontaneously report” illegal ride-hailing services, according to a spate of videos that recently went viral online.
Footage and photos widely shared on Facebook and Reddit-like forum LIHKG on Thursday showed passengers filming their journeys and encouraging several drivers to stop at spots near Kai Tak Cruise Terminal where officers were patrolling.
