Mike writes "In what appears to be a first-of-its-kind case, the Sheboygan city attorney ordered Jennifer Reisinger to remove a link to the city's police department from her Web site. The city went further, she claims, launching a criminal investigation of her for linking to the department on one of her sites, and in response she's suing the mayor and the city. "The mayor decided to use his office to get back at Jennifer for her efforts in the recall and picked this to do it," said her attorney, Paul Bucher. It appears this will go to court, and the question will be can a city (or any business or web property) stop people from posting a link to its Web site?"
