I phrased it poorly then. They seem to do what they want, flouting both outdated taxi medallion regulations and others which were put in place for reasonable reasons.

Taxi medallion regulations and others were not put in place for reasonable reasons. They were put in for crony "government-granted-monopoly" reasons.

They maybe "flouting" laws, but they still follow taxi laws, in that they can't be hailed by hand. They are electronically ordered, which the law categorizes as something different. They're lawful, they just made the taxis look really stupid. :)
