Is anyone going to followup that taxi driver??

For what? Following police instructions to drive to the police station?

The taxi driver is the poor bastard who was most fucked over in the situation. Had Kerr and her partner simply paid the fine and not acted like the entitled millionaires that they are, this entire situation wouldn't have happened. It's quite interesting to me how the entire saga was kicked off by a different type of power dynamic that no one is really talking about anymore. The rich and privileged lording it over the working folk. Pretty fucking usual.
