In reply to William. Hopefully now that Janet Protasiewicz has been elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court things will get better. This ended a 15-year far right wing conservative controlled Supreme Court.

I’m hoping the lawsuit regarding the ankle monitor statute will be refiled now that Janet Protasiewicz has been elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This ended a 15-year Conservative Republican majority. I’m in the same situation as 181 of us were sent letters in October 2018. My 2 conviction stemming from the same incident occurred in Texas in 1998. I moved from Texas to Wisconsin in March of 2018 and 7 months later in October I received my letter. That was four and a half years ago. To claim the ankle monitor is not considered punishment must be easy when a person is not Shackled. Wisconsin is also confused between a repeat habitual offender and a person with two or more convictions. It is common practice for State prosecutors to split and file multiple charges regarding one incident. It’s called the shotgun approach. This does not make a person a repeat habitual offender. I wish you luck William. Trust in God and hire a good lawyer.

So, in Wisconsin I pay $240 a month for GPS monitoring. So in the last 4.5 years I have been charged $13k in services. If found unconstitutional would I be able to get all my money back due to the unconstitutionality of the law? I know probably not, but this is killing me financially.
