[NAGDU] Uber cancels again

[Tracy Carcione]

Yes, but it goes away as soon as they cancel.  
I guess some people take a screen shot right away, but I didn't. 
It would not surprise me in the least if I called the cops later and said so-and-so canceled my Uber ride because of my guide dog and the cops said so what.

Hi Tracy,

Don’t you get the name of the person and their license number in the app?
