An Arab-America citizen called YasirAfifi sued the FBI for violating his privacy rights by placing a tracking device on his car without a warrant because of his racial background.
Mechanics spot strange things stuck under cars all the time, but when 20-year-old Yasir Afifi's ride was put up on lifts his shop found something that hadn't been kicked up from the road: a cylindrical tube connected to a device with an antenna.
For evidence of the creepy potential of social media monitoring, look no further than a story last week in which 20-year-old Arab American YasirAfifi found a GPS tracking device attached to his car, posted a picture online, and promptly received a visit from FBI agents asking for him to give it back.
