PARIS, June 29 (UPI) -- Two executives of the ride-sharing company Uber were arrested in Paris Monday and charged with 'illicit activity."

Following a police raid on Uber's Paris office in March, Uber France CEO Thibaud Simphal and Uber Europe General Manager Pierre-Dmitri Gore-Coty were taken into custody. Simphal and Gore-Coty claim the charge involves illegal taxi operations, but police said the company is hiding digital documents.

Uber's business is connecting drivers with passengers, and France's taxi drivers have reacted with strikes and violence. Seventy vehicles were damaged in protests last week by taxi drivers angered by the company's least expensive service, UberPOP, under which anyone with a car and a driver's license can be registered as an Uber driver.

The taxi drivers claim Uber drivers need not pay the same taxes or pass the same certification tests as they must, and thus are stealing taxi drivers' livelihoods. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve ordered UberPOP shut down last week after the protests, calling the service illegal. Like Us on Facebook for more stories from UPI.com Related UPI Stories

France is competing with UK, US and Germany for the most 1984ized country. I hate to see tech killing one profession after another, but surely you have to side with something that makes life cheaper and less corporate/institutional? Course I'd been thinking Uber was totally grassroots and decentral.

Ride share is the way to go, otherwise cities will snarl themselves into economic oblivion, kill their citizens with exhaust pollution.

You're agreeing with the Agenda 21 type utopianists, and you may be exactly right. I hate to admit how often liberalism is right, normally some crazy dead-wrong fashion of course.

Problem with liberalism/socialism is that when power is assumed the administration is packed with wooly-head followers rather than competent technocrats. Any 'ism will work as long as competent, skillful administrators are handling matters.

IMHO, the problem is that liberalism in power is always carried out by seriously, clinically (!) deranged people. And of course true, classic liberalism is the exact opposite of what pass under the name today. Another incredibly contemporary Bible prophecy for the collection --

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. biblehub.com/kjv/isaiah/32.htm

Yep -- the L-word's right there in the KJV, used properly and denouncing socialism!
