Tracking device
College kid finds tracking device on his car. FBI warns him to cooperate or else. Now, he’s suing:
A community-college student filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the FBI for secretly putting a GPS tracking device on his car.
Yasir Afifi, 20 said he’s never done anything that should attract the interest of federal law-enforcement officials.
He said a mechanic doing an oil change on his car in October discovered the device stuck with magnets between his right-rear wheel and exhaust. They weren’t sure what it was, but Afifi had the mechanic remove it, and a friend posted photos of it online to see whether anyone could identify it.

I’d have toss the SOB on top of a train headed toward Mexico. Give ’em a nice wild goose to chase….

Yea I’d have stuck it to some 18 wheeler and then went on about my biz…
Or have some real fun and stick it to an FBI car. See them chase their own tail.

Considering the stuff I’ve written in comments all these years, there’s a possibility that I could find one of these on my car. If I did, I’d probably leave it there until the mailman came on one of my days off. “What the hell is he doing in the parking lot of a post office! Let’s get him!” Ahh, fun.

I’d feel better about this if it weren’t CAIR behind the lawsuit.

It doesn’t matter who’s behind it. It’ll have to go all the way to the Supreme Court to be decided in his favor.
