Random FBI Tracking GPS Found



Most people would freak out and call the police if they found a cylindrical shaped thing attached to an antenna underneath their car, this is exactly what happened to Yasir Afifi but he did not react like most people.

When 20 year old Yasir went to go pick up his car from the mechanic he was informed that the mechanic found this cylindrical device stuck to the bottom of his car. Instead of asking the police to come and inspect it, he decided to take pictures of the device and then post his story on Reddit. While he was doing this he and his friends were deciding what to do with it such as sticking it one someone else's car or even selling it on craigslist! Soon after they started thinking about what to do when Afifi noticed two "sneaky looking" people outside his apartment so he quickly got into his car and drove off. Before he got anywhere two FBI agents pulled him over and demanded that that he return their property and if he didn’t comply they threatened "We're going to make this much more difficult for you if you don't cooperate."

I'm sure many people out there are screaming in outrage that the government is tracking random people without their knowledge but I personally think that it is a necessary precaution. If you have nothing to hide then it shouldn’t matter if the government can track you or not.

Are you kidding me? Even if our cars are parked in our drive ways, the government can put tracers on them. That is outrageous violation of privacy. Hiding something or not I don't want the government knowing where I'm going.
