I thought the light was tied to the meter in order to prevent stuff like that?

They don't have to turn the meter on, especially after their shift when they are driving back to the lot.

One more thing, if you pick up a yellow cab, or a "car service", when they are off the clock, you don't have to tip.

Technically, you don't have to tip ever. It's just a dick move not to.
