Public Records

S asked:


Today someone wrongly informed the police that I was going to commit suicide. Strange yes, and also very very embarassing. Unfortunately w/o warning two police officers came to my house to check everything out. They realized I was fine and then left. I know that every time something like this happens there is a report filed no matter what. Unfortunetly I am very recognizable in my community and I am told this record will become availible to the public for a fee on monday. I am extrememly humilitated to find that someone is planning on purchasing this police report first thing on monday. I am very upset since this incident was all cleared up otherwise. Is there any legal way I can make this information confidential to protect my reputation? I am sick to think someone would do this to me in the first place, and knowing people can purchase this, even for there own viewing is really troubling me. Please help if you have an answer. I live in WI if this helps with any law info. Thanks
