Here is a sleezy customer who in the early morning 4:45 A.M. sought to get a ride home for free in a taxi cab. So much for the effort to rob a cab driver while getting the service of being driven home three cities away. He justified his efforts before seven of Albanys's Finest, admitting what he did and why he did it. It did not make sense to any of the police nor to the driver who had nothing to do with why he, the customer was out in the cold in the dead of the morning 3 cities away from home. The only thing the service industry could do was to comply with the parties request to be take from point A to point B. Unfortuneatly he did not say he did not have any money on hand, he kept on saying to the driver, "I have it! Your Okay!" This did not satisfy the driver's request to have the money up front. It is required especially in out of town calls. The driver did what he could to obtain the money while driving toward the destination. When he could not get it, he called the police, took the photo of the traveler and pulled over to meet the police at a preordained location. The traveler only confessed his intent to get home and without paying the driver. He felt he had legitimate reasons as he had tried to get the Albany police (out of their jurisdiction,) to help him. He had called for a taxi several times (at their buzy hour!) And they had not responded for an hour and a half!!! Therefore he would take it out on the first driver to respond. Sound familiar...!? Well in the service industry it does. Whether it is a customer trying to get a free meal or ride!!!
