Green Bay Girly-Man Mayor Goes Full Stalin

The Mayor of Green Bay, Genrich, is a frightened little girly-man ex-librarian hard-left Socialist Communist.

So he does what all frightened little girly-man hard-left Socialists Communists do:  installs camera-and-sound recording equipment in public areas of City Hall.

(You recall that this Mayor installed a New York City Democrat Party operative into the '20 election and that operative had keys to every sensitive voting/balloting area in Green Bay.  The operative was so obnoxious and demanding that the city clerk quit in disgust.  But--according to the far-left staff at Wisconsin Elections Commission, 'the election was totes clean and perfect.' )

The State Senator for part of the Green Bay area is righteously PO'd.

...Sen. Jacque released a memo prepared at his request by attorneys with the non-partisan State Legislative Council detailing the serious legal concerns with the idea of a municipality installing cameras and microphones in various places throughout its city hall building and using those devices to record conversations without informing visitors of the recording,” the release said.

“As the Legislative Council memo describes, contrary to Mayor Genrich’s assertions, in a setting like a governmental building it is clearly possible for a person to engage in a private, protected conversation, and specifically notes ‘In a setting like a governmental building, factors that are likely to provide a person with a reasonable expectation of privacy include speaking at a low volume, away from passersby, and in a small group of people who are unlikely to report what was said,'” Jacque wrote in the release.

He said the memo further points out “[U]sing an electronic device to record an oral conversation is considered to be “intercepting” the communication… Unless an exception applies, a person who intentionally intercepts or attempts to intercept an oral communication, or intentionally uses a device or attempts to use a device to intercept an oral communication, is guilty of a Class H felony. [s. 968.31 (1) (a) and (b), Stats.].”...

The Brown County DA doesn't have the guts to prosecute.
