Wisconsin Supreme Court: State v. Michael Joseph Gasper

On September 2, 2025, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on State v. Michael Joseph Gasper, Case Number 2023AP2319-CR. This is a review of a decision by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District II (headquartered in Waukesha), which reversed a suppression order issued by the Waukesha County Circuit Court, Judge Michael O. Bohren presiding. The case examines whether law enforcement violated the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights by viewing a flagged Snapchat video without a warrant, and whether exceptions to the warrant requirement apply.
