FBI Gets Caught!
 
Does this mean the FBI is after us? : reddit.com

Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back | Threat Level | Wired.com

UPDATE to "does this mean the FBI is after us" : reddit.com

Lol, some guy took his car into the shop and they found an FBI tracking device underneath his car! Apparently this device is expensive and once he posted online that he found it, they immediately rushed in to get it back lol..

What are your thoughts on FBI agents being able to bug your car whenever/wherever they please?

w0nderbr3ad 10-08-2010 11:35 PM

I mean its for the safety for national security but it seems like bs. Personally I think its fucked up. If I found one I'd try to flip it and score or put it on someone else's car.

foreal. the people that work up conspiracy theories are gonna go ape shit with this

Brian 10-08-2010 11:44 PM

sounds perfectly OK to me.

I'm more than happy to know that possible threats are being tracked. I'd rather have it that way than the alternative.

I LUV MY S13 10-09-2010 12:40 AM

An american student doesnt seem like a potential threat.

TheWolf 10-09-2010 12:48 AM

I would drive out to the middle of nowhere like on some forestry road. Then it would accidentally fall off in some cow shit. Now after they drive down this one way road in the absolute middle of nowhere to retrieve it. I'd have about 8 people waiting for them so we could have a discussion about the retrieval of it. It'd be a long walk back to town for them.

alot of rules and regulation go into doing things like this. if your car is bugged then you deserve it to be or someone close to you deserves it.

ESmorz 10-09-2010 01:24 PM

Not too long until CAFE makes GPS units mandatory, so they can tax you on carbon credits anyways.

Don your tin foil hats, the police state is in motion. dun dun dun

yeah, it seemed like they were following him because of the blog thing his friend did.

Walperstyle 10-09-2010 02:47 PM

I have no problem with the FBI doing this... because I'm not a paranoid internet stoner afraid of the government knowing about my dime bag of weed.

...like some people.

You're joking, right?

I LUV MY S13 been posting dumb shit since forever

20 til 3 10-09-2010 03:55 PM

it'll be swept under the rug within a week... if the kid thinks he'll get anyware with a lawsuit he's an idiot. The government can do whatever they want

I would strap it to a squirrel and then ask them for ransom.

Did you even read any of this before you posted?

The device was found near the exhaust but further in, my friend's father was a muslim religious leader, it is not an ex girlfriend that placed the device on his car nor some random other employer or such. he bought the car a little under a year ago and it wasnt there for sure then.

American students can never be threats.

HPKMotorsports3 10-28-2010 11:16 PM

i wouldnt have given it back... i wouldve been like finders keepers... B****H lol

kingkilburn 10-30-2010 02:34 PM

I can't believe any of you are ok with this. It is the epitome of unAmerican. They don't even need a warrant to do it.


The snow ball is rolling.

Bambi 11-09-2010 07:42 PM

They wrote about this in my school newspaper. Is the FBI Stalking You? | The Diablo Dispatch
But who cares.

irax 11-09-2010 08:10 PM

I would of posted it for sale on craigslist wtt for a big screen tv or a nice computer

ripnbst 11-09-2010 08:14 PM

Its wrong and hell no I wouldnt give it back. That shit would be on Ebay. If they want it they can be the high bidder.

supervenom 11-10-2010 03:26 AM

The FBI can screw up just like any government agency. Nevertheless, they do mean well. Sometimes things go wrong and innocent people get hurt. Who knows why they do what they do. But, we put our safety in their hands. We trust them to keep the REAL bad guys away. Trust me, things would be worse, with-out the FBI.

brndck 11-10-2010 04:14 AM

At what point do you draw the line? Is it ok that they bug and track a few of us, claiming to be protecting us from others? Will it be ok when they want us all to wear tracking devices? When we hafta show papers every time we leave the house? One thing leads to another, and if the government has taught us anything, it's that once they get a bit of power, the only thing they want is more. I don't consider myself paranoid, just in favor of minimal govt that respects our constitution.

supervenom 11-12-2010 02:17 AM

The beauty of America is that the citizens hold the power. As ignorant as the public may be to that fact, it is a fact.

We draw the line when "the people" decide its enough. It has to be a collective movement.

However, I don't think it will get to that point. UNLESS, a "state-of-emergency" is used as a pretext.

Long Live The West.

swingsett 12-07-2010 11:29 AM

^^^^^

state of emergency would create insanity

kingkilburn 12-07-2010 11:57 AM

And through that insanity we gain clarity to what the people truly are and want they want from their government.
