I looked at the enumerated crimes and I don't see "evading city taxi regulations" in there.

How about obstruction of justice?

[bogositosius]

Point taken. I still think it's absurd to have a federal investigation over some city's taxi regulations being evaded, but at least I can follow the potential legal logic. Thanks for the info.

Some city? I think Uber willfully and flagrantly evades the taxi regulations of almost every single city that has them.

[bogositosius]

So what?

So they misled investigators throughout multiple cities across the United States. Therefore, it's a federal issue. This really isn't that hard to understand.

No. Why it can be made a federal issue has been successfully outlined by others in this thread. Misleading investigators throughout multiple cities, however, isn't the reason.
