On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “Mendoza anibal s/apelación falta municipal”, (causa N°35921), the Court acquitted the defendant, annulling the fine he had been dealt for transporting passengers without municipal authorization. The Court held that the distinction between a genuine witness and entrapment agent could have been resolved if, at the appropriate time, evidence had been presented, such as a screenshot from Uber showing the service request and corresponding driver acceptance. In its absence, the evidentiary value of the legal instrument upon which the defendant’s conduct was based was diminished, leading to his acquittal.
