Kolek planning to go pro
True story: was living in Chicago the summer before law school started (right above the Sports Corner). One night about 1 a.m., three of my friends buzz me from downstairs and say let us in. No problem, I let them up. About 15 minutes later 2 of Chicago's finest buzz and say they had a report of 3 people jumping out of a cab and failing to pay.The cab driver wanted 15.00. I gave him a 20, cops left, no report.

I'm breathing some life into this thread with the recent developments.I am utterly confused by the people that say the driver is in the most wrong for locking the doors until he got payment. While this has never happened to me, I feel like violence would be far from the first thing that comes to my mind when a driver would rather me pay him before I got out of the cab.What are your guys' thoughts?
If I'm detained against my will, for any reason, I'd call the cops.If I weren't smart and I were built like a pro athlete I could see how I could end up punching someone in the face a couple times.
See I agree with that, assuming the cabbie kept them for any length of time after payment had been received.
It's a fairly common practice among cab drivers when taking home drunk 20 somethings. My best guess on what happened.Drunk NHL star and friend get in cab.Cab drives them to there destination.Cabbie locks door and asks for payment.Drunk NHL Star, plays, "don't you know who I am" card.Cabbie says no.Drunk NHL star responds, I am Patrick effin' Kane.Cabbie responds, I don't care, give me my 19.50.Drunk NHL star throws $20 at cabbie.Cabbie unlocks door, and drunk NHL star and friend get out start berating the cabbie for the missing .50.Cabbie tells them to eff themselves.Drunk NHL Star and friend throw down.
