Uber driver decided to pick up a felony evader as we came upon his accident on the freeway.
Location: PHOENIX, ARIZONA
I had to flee from the vehicle as soon as we got off the freeway (because this crackhead's directions weren't really good) on the opposite direction from home as we were headed "30 miles away" to drop him off. I felt in fear of my life as I was running away. Police handcuffed me in the back of a squad car for well over an hour while they investigated.
Do I have a civil case against Uber or the driver? I felt like I was a hostage when I was in the car with them and want to press charges with the police.
This F'D me up. My brain is going a mile a minute. I don't even know how this is going to play out.
I did all the things like call up the first personal injury attorney I found on google and I have incident numbers from both the detaining officer and his squad (there were like 4 cars) and the state trooper.
I absolutely want to press fucking charges on this crazy ***** for picking him up. I was texting 911 and on the phone with them the whole time until I fucking bolted and was begging for police to pick me up where I stopped running.
Thank you for advice
