PELEAN POR UNA CÁMARA | Amenazan con no pagar viaje a chofer de aplicación que grababa por seguridad

A passenger asks whether the camera inside her ride-hailing vehicle is recording. The driver says it is, explaining that he records his trips for safety. Her objection soon becomes an ultimatum: delete the footage or risk not being paid.

Mexico's Azteca Noticias published the in-car footage, which shows the rear-seat passengers with their faces blurred. The disagreement centers on whether they were warned about the recording and agreed to it.

The driver says the ride-hailing app sends passengers a notification. The passengers say they did not consent and object to being filmed. One asserts that a law prohibits the recording, but the clip does not establish the legal position or independently confirm what notification the app provided.

A passenger then demands that he delete the videos and threatens not to pay the fare. The driver replies that the trip is payable in cash and that payment is still due. As the exchange continues, he proposes calling a police patrol to resolve the dispute.

Near the end, the passengers ask him to open the door so they can get out. He insists on calling police before they leave. The footage ends without showing whether officers arrived, the fare was paid or any recording was deleted.
