Here's a couple of this week's updates on crimes against cab drivers.  In addition to "forced tipping" from cab companies, unfair traffic tickets by MTA Parking Control Officers, and now a transaction fee from a pass through on credit card fees, (and possibly the credit card fees themselves), taxi drivers are still robbed the old fashioned way too... with guns and beat downs.

The SF Examiner this week reports two incidents....
