Alarmed and curious about what it might be, Yasir posted photos of the device online, asking members of reddit whether it was a bomb, or possibly an FBI tracking device. In a short amount of time Yasir learned that it was in fact a GPS tracking device, and it was made by a company that only sells to government agencies. Days later he was able to learn the direct source of the tracking device, when he was visited by a large group of FBI agents who had seen his posts online, and wanted their device back. When he was visited by the agents, Yasir had obvious questions about the situation. Who had planted the device on his car, and why? Was he suspected in some sort of investigation? The agents refused to answer any of his questions and told him that if he refused to cooperate with them that they were going to make this situation as difficult as possible for him.

Check your vehicles, 4um folk.
I doubt that ANY of us have these on our vehicles.
I'm inclined to think that Yasir held a similar opinion .... until one turned up. Have you ever done a FOIA request to learn what they do have on you ? I have.
Did application of an automotive tracking device show up on your FOIA report?
I pulled mine prior to that technology becoming mainstream. There was data compiled as to my fundraising activities in regard to the legalization of cannabis. It may pay to inquire again. They've had over 30 years to add to those files.
Things have changed in 30 years, thanks to people like you continually raising rational objections to unfair laws, especially the long sentences handed out for small possession. The cost involved has also caused a reduction in efforts around cannabis By joining 4um we've both raised our profiles to some extent but I suspect that electronic surveillance of online activity in the form of traffic data mining is seen as adequate for most of us. FISA and the Patriot Acts retain the ability for these actions to stay secret. If you found out you had been bugged, you could be charged with publicizing a secret government instigation. Librarians have learned to put up signs saying "no patron investigations have occurred recently." They believe they can legally remove the sign after a "visit." I just don't think the typical 4um member falls into any of the hot categories: law breakers, threat hurlers, or conspirators. We visit the forum to share ideas, not to wreak havoc.
Don't flatter your importance What you've done is raise the profile of 4um - a free speech site -unnecessarily. But do carry on.
I know not what, but I've written or posted something that bothers you. We could discuss it.
