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.

DS562 · 10-08-2010, 11:39 PM

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.

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.

P-Funk alot · 10-09-2010, 12:53 AM

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.

Did you even read any of this before you posted?

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.

Bambi · 11-09-2010, 07:42 PM

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.
