A protester reporting to Dane County Court for a pretrial conference was given a stack of documents by the Department of Justice attorney prosecuting him for permit violations at the Capitol. Included among these papers were Capitol Police reports on other protesters, with their personal information intact, including home addresses, driver's license numbers and, in some cases, Social Security numbers. Attorneys representing other Capitol protesters also report receiving personal information on activists from the DOJ.
Isthmus news editor Judith Davidoff reports on how confidential information of Wisconsin Capitol protesters was released and the state's explanation about the matter in the September 20 issue and discussed her story with WORT producer Dylan Brogan on the September 19 edition of In Our Backyard.
