    ADA Gets Fired For Uber Rant

    Episode 60 of World's Dumbest Criminals is about an Assistant District Attorney from Texas who went on an epic power trip at an Uber driver. Not only did she ridicule and insult him but she also said she “knew people” and would make sure he'd never work again.


    She accused him of kidnapping her and when she refused to leave his vehicle, he called the police. He also started recording her tantrum after she said the cops wouldn't believe him over her and she was looking forward to seeing them fuck him up. You gotta hear it to believe it!
