Josh Jacobs sues to stop video evidence from being released
Acme Packing Company • • sports
Key Points:
- Jacobs has filed a lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction and protective order to prevent the release of police records, including video footage from inside his private garage obtained via search warrant.
- He argues that disclosing the interior footage would reveal his home's layout and security details, posing a serious risk of targeted burglary or harassment due to his public professional sports schedule.
- Jacobs supports the victim identified as "ANM" in the suit, emphasizing that releasing the records would violate Wisconsin's victim privacy rights (Marsy’s Law) and cause re-victimization.
- The suit contends that modern AI tools make redaction insufficient to protect sensitive information and that the victim seeks closure, not public attention.
- Jacobs requests the court to permanently bar the police from releasing the footage and any identifying victim details, prioritizing personal safety and privacy over public access.
