Anyone raping anyone is horrendous and a tragic atrocity. It should never be allowed to happen!<p>However, we don&#x27;t live in Minority Report. You do not and cannot know if someone is going to commit a crime, regardless of their past actions. Discarding &quot;innocent until proven guilty&quot; is also an atrocity, that shouldn&#x27;t be allowed to happen.<p>While difficult to accept, it really is impossible to compare two atrocities and declare one is more important than the other.<p>On a different note: Improving realtime safety, inside of an Uber, is something you will get unanimous support for. If what you&#x27;re looking for is Uber combined with <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.companionapp.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.companionapp.io&#x2F;</a> that is worthwhile and I hope Uber prioritizes this feature next over all others.<p>Infact, if anyone reads this and has the appropriate connections to get this idea into the hands of Uber&#x27;s executives, it is really worth Uber&#x27;s time to get safety right. Allowing women&#x2F;children(even men) to opt-in to pre-set a designated &quot;Companion&quot; on trips taken between 8pm-8am(configurable) is worth investing the three or so dev months it would take them to build this out.
