Benjamin Golden believes his rights were violated because while he was beating and assaulting his Uber driver he was being recorded without his consent. Now the former Taco Bell executive is suing the Uber driver he was fired for assaulting.
TLR first ran this video when the story broke. The camera captures Golden assaulting Edward Caban, an Uber driver who asked a drunk Golden to exit his vehicle. Caban maces Golden causing him to flee. Police soon caught up with him and charged him with assault and being drunk and disorderly.
