Sheriff threatens teen for IG post about her COVID-19 infection (Update page 3)

Reason
fricking thug arse pieces of shite
quote:
Once home, Cohoon began developing symptoms associated with COVID-19. She sought medical assistance, but at the time they were unable to test her to see if she was infected. She was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection with "symptoms consistent with COVID-19," according to the lawsuit.
Cohoon went home and posted on Instagram letting people know that she had COVID-19 and was in self-quarantine. Her condition worsened and she was brought to the hospital for treatment. She posted again about the experience on Instagram. Finally, they were able to test her, but the test came back negative. According to the lawsuit, doctors told her it was likely the missed the window for testing positive, but she probably did have COVID-19, despite the test results. (False negative results have been an ongoing issue in accurately diagnosing infections.)
quote:
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.
Konrath's justification was that there had been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county. He found out about the Instagram post from Amyiah's high school. The Cohoon family had contacted the school to let them know about Amyiah's infection, but nobody ever contacted them back to get more information. It appears that instead the school contacted the police. Under the threat of arrest, Cohoon complied and deleted the allegedly illegal Instagram post.

I thought governments were doing everything they could to pump the numbers up?

I’d have read the cop the 1st Amendment then told him to kiss my arse and get off my property. Would he arrested me? Maybe. Would I sue the shite out of the county and win? Absolutely.

the family is doing that
the Sheriff's attorney is using the hallowed "fire in a theater" defense
quote:
Sam Hall, an attorney for the sheriff, said the teenager "caused distress and panic" among other parents by claiming she had contracted the coronavirus despite getting a negative test result.
"This case is nothing more than a 2020 version of screaming fire in a crowded theater," he said, referring to speech that is not protected by the First Amendment.

The rona has shown that not only will government eventually run everything in our lives, but people will demand that they do as well.

As a lawyer, you should know, you’re allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater if there is actually a fire.
False negatives and shitty tests are a reality of this whole thing.

Doesn’t seem like this will end well for them. That’s like saying the “fire in a crowded theater” limitation applies if the fire department shows up and finds scorch marks, an empty fire extinguisher, but no fire.

If a person honestly believes that there is a fire in the theater, like sees smoke billowing out of a door, it's not even close to the same principle.
They better find a better lawyer or settle this thing with the quickness.
