I mean, once the cab driver has you in his cab, especially at night, aren't you kinda at his mercy?
There needs to be non-removable trackers inside the cabs to see exactly where the cabs travel, and to deter would be killers like Jesse Matthews.

Cab drivers I assume, need to meet certain requirements. But what about the latest Uber trend? You really have no control at all over who you are dealing with in that case.

I see it as a good idea for any livery vehicle including cabs and limos.

Any cell phone would serve as a tracking device but all that does is tighten the case against the suspect AFTER someone has become a victim. What is needed in some communities is better back round checks on who can be a cab driver. In New York City and many cities around the country anyone convicted of a violent crime will not be licensed.

Cabs should have cameras to help protect drivers.

Are they built into the cab and non-removable?
