MADISON (WKOW) A Marquette County teen has filed a federal lawsuit against the Marquette County Sheriff, who she says ordered her to remove an Instagram post about recovering from COVID-19.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed the lawsuit in federal court Thursday on behalf of Amyiah Cohoon and her parents, Richand and Angela, against Marquette County Sheriff Joseph Konrath and a patrol sergeant for violating the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
The lawsuit results from a March incident where Marquette County law enforcement threatened Cohoon and her parents with arrest unless an Instagram post was removed.
According to the lawsuit, Cohoon, a high school student, had a scare in March with COVID-19 and posted about her experience on Instagram. A few days later, a deputy sheriff showed up at her home and demanded that she remove her post or be cited for disorderly conduct, arrested and jailed.

“Therefore, to reduce the incidence of panic and hysteria throughout the community, they required she remove her postings.”
What is it about there not being a law against what she did that they don’t understand?
Good! Keep suing these Gestapo County Sheriffs. Keep them in court the rest of their lives.
OK. I get that. But my question would be about HIPPA. She had a medical test, how does the school know the result? How do the police know the result? They shouldn't know anything and they should not be in a position to say "She's not sick, her test was negative".
I'm not sure, but maybe she basically said "My test was negative, but I still think I have COVID-19" I really can't see that as inaccurate or illegal.
States of emergency are a b!tch, huh.
Her posts on IG should have first been sent out viral so they become embedded in many servers, living forever. (Or did this happen?)
THEN delete the posts and sue the britches off these these communist bass turds. depose WDW for their communications to the sheriff, the governor and others who were involved.
Bring the pain on these criminals
??
MASH?
Hep a whitey out, bruh.
When the administrator called the hospital and asked how many active cases of Covid-19 there were in the county and the hospital said zero, the administrator knew the girl was in error based upon the faulty test given.
The docs told her they believed she HAD the China Virus but was past time when testing would pick it up.
She stated she “beat” the China Virus.
She simply repeated what the drs told her. Tell me again why the State has a case?
Chernobyl.
Has the hospital performed any Positive tests for COVID-19?
No, all tests performed by this hospital have come back Negative.
Can the hospital assert there is not a single case of COVID-19 in the county?
Absolutely not! How could they possibly know that? Certainly there could be cases of which the hospital is unaware.
IRL or a movie by that name
That I’d ask instead of ass u me ing.
Because she was warning the other band mates and their families that she had Covid-19 and inferred the they might too. The administrator would argue that he is merely trying to reduce panic. He could have used a less heavy handed method.
Here’s what she said:
I am finally home after being hospitalized for a day and a half. I am still on breathing treatment but have beaten the coronavirus. Stay home and be safe.
Page 5, paragraph 23
The cops reason is that he’s an authoritarian, and he didn’t like what she said. He thought it would be destructive to the community. And he’s never heard of free speech. Simple as that
The nature of democrats is to exert as much power as possible over the public. The virus situation is a great opportunity for democrats to exert their power over the public. Its like a feeding frenzy for power. Many democrats will have a hard time giving it up.
She certainly would have gathered wider national attention and perhaps improved her negotiating position.
The authorities appear to be thinking this was an instance of "yelling fire in a crowded theatre".
She did warn her classmates but she was told by her Drs that she previously had the China Virus.
She did nothing but pass along what she believed perfectly truthful information from the most reliable of sources.
The State, if they even bother to go to court (which I doubt) will lose badly. They will settle.
It’s very reassuring to know the police won’t act like this when ordered to come and get our guns.
This time they were just doing it for our own good.
