A Wisconsin teenager who shared her suspected COVID-19 symptoms on Instagram was told she might be arrested if she didn't take down the post, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
A lawsuit filed Thursday said a patrol sergeant following a sheriff's orders violated a Wisconsin teenager's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights by telling her to remove an Instagram post, in which she said she was suffering from COVID-19 symptoms.
Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed the lawsuit with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on behalf of the teenager, identified in the complaint as a student at Westfield Area High School in Marquette County. Patrol Sergeant Cameron Klump and Sheriff Joseph Konrath of the Marquette County Sheriff's Department were both listed as defendants.
A lawsuit was filed in federal court in Wisconsin Thursday alleging a teenager's First Amendment rights had been violated when authorities told her to delete an Instagram post sharing news of her possible COVID-19 infection.The law firm said the teenager began experiencing respiratory symptoms common among COVID-19 patients after a trip to Florida with her classmates in March.
