Wisconsin County Tells Green Bay Officials To Stop Bugging City Hall

  • A Brown County judge has issued a temporary injunction, ordering the city of Green Bay and its mayor to “cease all audio surveillance and recording in Green Bay City Hall.”
  • Circuit Court Judge Marc Hammer late Thursday granted the injunction sought by the Wisconsin State Senate. He ordered the city to end its bugging program by 5 p.m. Thursday, almost immediately.
  • “Defendants are ordered not to disseminate or (except for the purposes of defending against this litigation) access any audio recordings produced by the surveillance devices,” the judge wrote in his restraining order. “All extant recordings are placed under seal of the Court and are not to be accessed by any person or entity except with this Court’s permission.”
