ryoder 1,590 #2 April 19, 2020 I wanted to know what charges they planned to file. A lot more detail here: https://reason.com/2020/04/17/a-teenager-posted-about-her-covid-19-infection-on-instagram-a-deputy-threatened-to-arrest-her-if-she-didnt-delete-it/ The very next day, Patrol Sergeant Cameron Klump from Marquette County Sheriff's Department showed up on the family's doorstep. He was there under orders from Sheriff Joseph Konrath to demand that Amyiah and her father, Richard Cohoon, remove Amyiah's Instagram posts. If they refused, Klump said the family faced charges for disorderly conduct and Klump told them he would "start taking people to jail," according to the suit. I wonder if they discussed this with the DA first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #3 April 19, 2020 The family has filed a 1st Amendment suit against the law enforcement personnel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #5 April 19, 2020 I have a feeling they are going to win that suit. I'm not sure about the "U.P." (upper peninsula), but down here in Wisconsin, you get a citation for disorderly conduct. You don't get arrested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it goes to court there will be sworn testimony, but I think the point about this is that the family apparently isn't seeking a big payday; they want the LEOs to acknowledge and apologize, and they want the expenses associated with the litigation covered. That to me is why this looks genuine. But I wasn't there. I hope the LEO who knocked on the door had a bodycam. I automatically assumed it was a Barney Fife / JBT situation, but once again, I was not a witness. There is sometimes more going on in cases like this than we actually hear about. It's also possible they are fishing for extra comp through the catchall language in the complaint. I dunno. I'm not a lawyer, either.

turtlespeed 226 #9 April 20, 2020 I’m betting the cam footage will conveniently get lost, or there was a malfunctioning memory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
