I think it's crazy how these unlicensed taxi scams are still going on at JFK Airport 
. I mean, the Port Authority has already taken some steps to tackle the issue, but it seems like they're not doing enough. It's not just a matter of fining people $3k and throwing them in jail for 90 days - that's not going to stop the scammers who are willing to take those risks.
I think what Garcia needs to do is get really creative with her approach
. Deploying undercover officers might work, but it's also gonna be super resource-intensive. And using technology is a good idea too, but you can't just rely on software and apps to solve the problem - there are always gonna be scammers who figure out how to hack into that.
I'd love to see Garcia take a more collaborative approach
. Like, get some state legislators on board and work together to create stronger laws and penalties for these people. That's the only way you're really gonna crack down on this stuff. And we need to make sure that there are consequences for scammers - not just fines, but also jail time. Anything less is just tokenism
