In absolute numbers, their company probably follows more laws than most people on this forum, since they operate in many different jurisdictions. It wouldn't surprise me if the average HN commenter committed more felonies than the average Uber executive, or of Uber as a whole.
When did Uber obey the law? Why would they start now?
Edit: Apologies for my tone, but Uber has demonstrated quite a few times in the past that they don't have any respect for the law.
