Respondent Jones was a subject of a Government investigation in part of a much larger drug trafficking conspiracy. As part of the investigation, FBI agents had obtained a court order to place a GPS tracking device on a vehicle driven by Jones – a Jeep registered to Jone's wife. The court order was issued in the District of Columbia and was set to expire 10 days after it was signed by the judge. On Day 11, the Government attached the GPS device underneath the carriage of the Jeep on a public roadway in Maryland. Effectively, the government was acting outside of its authorization.

Sandra Bland died in police custody in Waller County Texas we all have our own opinions on what caused her death, but I think the biggest cause was racism. This is interesting because sources claim that part of Texas have a long list of racial tactics especially from police. Bland was pulled over for a minor traffic violation on July 10th 2015 additionally with her being pulled over she was handled in a disgusting manner.
