Abrams Fensterman Partner-in-Charge, Maureen Bass, represents two families in federal lawsuits against the Town of Greece, alleging that officials used warrantless GPS trackers and other intimidation tactics to silence citizens. This case, which has garnered significant news coverage, raises critical concerns about government overreach and abuse of power.
One of the lawsuits centers on the actions taken by the Town of Greece to silence our client and the impact those actions have had our client’s family. The second lawsuit claims similar surveillance tactics were used against them due to the plaintiff’s involvement as a witness in a criminal case against a former town official. The lawsuits raise significant concerns about privacy rights and government overreach, with both cases pending in U.S. District Court.
