Video Taping?

A Taco Bell executive who lost his job after allegedly beating an Uber driver was slapped  with further criminal charges that put him at risk of spending up to a year behind bars.

Benjamin Golden, 32, Newport Beach, California, was charged with four misdemeanor counts by the Orange County District Attorney's office.

 "Given the behavior of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us," Taco Bell said in a statement. "We have also offered and encouraged him to seek professional help."

The video reveals the driver repeatedly and unsuccessfully asking Golden for driving directions. He flips his camera around to show the inside of the car, and Golden topples over in the back seat with an audible thud as the driver makes a left turn. The video has seen by 1.3 million times on YouTube.

Golden was arrested on July 8, 2012, in Louisville, Kentucky, on charges of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.  

Golden's license was also suspended for one month, the prosecutor's office said.
Golden's LinkedIn account is no longer available, and his Twitter link was blocked from public sight, but on a cached version of his Twitter page, he describes himself with a simple statement: "Sushi lover. Bourbon drinker. The end."

Not sure the driver has the right to video tape any passenger without a consent. The passenger could be a woman breastfeeding a child, a sick patient, etc.. He should be sued on this ground......

Just a thought.
