That's nonsense. If you have a dispute between you and a company, everyone will expect you to talk to the company first. If it turns out that your dispute relates to breach of the law (for instance, improper racial discrimination of clients), you might not necessarily realise you have the ability to report it to the police. To say it sounds like a very unlikely scenario to you makes it sound like you're trying to find reasons to defend Uber, not trying to interpret the scene fairly.

No, it's not.

If you have suffered something that you think is a crime, call the cops (in the UK they are pretty okay for these things).

If you had a very bad experience, but maybe not a full blown crime, you might decide to make a 1.0 star rating and complain to the company.

There could be systemic problems (racial discrimination), but even in those cases, there are concrete victims, that can report it to authorities (to the TfL for example).
