A California man has sued the Obama administration and the FBI for violating his constitutional rights by tracking his movements with a GPS device hidden on his car. Twenty-year-old Yasir Afifi was alerted to the tracking device by a mechanic last October. The lawsuit accuses the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice of violating his constitutional rights by tracking his movements and conducting searches without a warrant.
Yasir Afifi: “I feel like my rights have been violated as an American citizen and as a student. I don’t deserve to be followed or spied on whatsoever. I should be able to travel back and forth freely without being held for four hours or interrogated at all. Now, I’ve already encountered two employers who have had to think twice before hiring me and have denied me the job due to this very incident. Now, I’m not starting a fight, I’m just asserting my rights. And I hope that no one else has to go through this nonsense after me.”
