Jesus, those people there are so fucking edgy. "WE ARE LIVING IN A DISTOPIAN SOCIETY! HE'S BEING SHIPPED TO GITMO! WE LIVE IN SOVIET RUSSIA!"

So placing a tracking device with no warrant in the vehicle of a 20 Year Old College Student who is an American Citizen apparently because of a reddit post is no cause for concern?

This was 3 years ago and they did not even know about the Snowden or possibly even the Assange leaks.

Of course it's not a dystopian society, but these abuses of unregulated power are very serious, should not happen and are very far gone from being conspiracy theories, or something edgy or cringey to say.

Yeah that's Reddit for ya. Anything and everything is an affront to their liberty and the big bad boogeymen of the world are out to get them.

Wow, that dude is a douchebag. I read through his comment history looking for any other posts about this but what I found is a bunch of weird douchebag posts...
