Is this third party data tracking done by two separate jurisdictions legal?

In July of this past year I had engaged in a family dispute at my legal residence, left the situation to go actively look at apartments across the state (different town). Nothing illegal happened in the dispute. A relative called to inquire where I was and I refused to disclose and so was tracked, with no warrant, to where I was staying by the local police in that town. I was taken to a psych unit and declared stable there (no hospitalization) and was deemed free to go. The police in the town I was in were in communication with the local police department where I came from, verifiable through the hospital. In the town I was staying in I had done nothing but watch TV and go eat at a neighboring mall. I assure you no erratic behavior of any kind took place where I was staying therefore the only feasible way that police department were to be involved and nodded to my position would have been to actively work with the department of where I came from, across the state. This was a ridiculous

Do I have a case?

On Friday August 13th I sent my child off to school with his morning transportation driver that is provided by his school. Through an app I able to view his route and receive notifications when he arrives to school. This is the same process for his return to home. It wasn’t until he arrived home that I noticed my mentally/behaviorally challenged child was in a disturbing mood. In order to not cause a meltdown I had to give him his space and time before I could get out of him why he was in that mood. He then informed me in the morning he was in a car accident with his driver. I was shocked and right away checked him, then called his doctor. While waiting for the doctor to give me a call back if I need to have him checked I called the school to find out why I was not called. Since they did not answer I wrote them an email. It wasn’t until 6pm Friday night that I received a call informing me they were so sorry they forgot to call me…. There’s much more!
