Credit Card Records: Wisconsin Capitol Police Spent Thousands on Device to Harass Singers

Remember the Solidarity Sing Along, the lunch-hour musical protest that has been held at the Wisconsin Capitol every weekday since March, 2011? Remember how the Walker Administration finally decided they couldn’t take even one more verse of “This Land is Your Land” and ordered the Capitol Police to start arresting peaceful singers?

They began by mailing citations to people, or dropping them off at people’s homes or work, but when that didn’t stop people from singing, they started arresting folks in the Capitol rotunda in July, 2013. They arrested octogenarians, military veterans, a couple of clergy members, minors, moms, dads, firefighters, and even a few people who were just watching the arrests. By the end of the summer they had issued hundreds of tickets to nearly 200 people. Most of those tickets are now tied up in the Dane County Court system after most of the recipients pleaded not guilty and demanded jury trials.

Remember? Sure you do. Those were fun times, and they always started with the Capitol Police playing the pre-recorded voice of the Police Chief over a military grade Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) declaring the Sing Along an unlawful assembly (worth clicking!): http://youtu.be/...
