The Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council performed an audit of compliance with the Wisconsin Open Records Law in 2008. 3 in 10 of the requests submitted were found to be ignored or responded to in violation of state law.
Jail booking records were partially denied to requestors in Dodge County, with the explanation: "you will find those records excluding any bookings that we had with immigration authorities as after checking with the Immigration Authority, they will not allow release of those records." [7]
See audit finds nearly 10% of open records requests denied or ignored for more.
