2001In Ward , the police officers had executed a no-knock warrant that was based upon qase law establishing a blanket rule that where there is "evidence of felony drug delivery or dealing, the officers are justified in making a no-knock entry."

2008While our holding here is consistent with the conclusions reached by other states, it is also consistent with our own past decisions such as LTSB, in which this court explained that "not all confidential data is that over which the custodian or owner may assert a privilege." LTSB, 272 Wis. 2d 208, ¶ 15 (citations omitted). 12 Thus, just because a meeting may be kept closed from the public, even if some of the meeting contents are thereby "confidential" in some sense of the *31 word, it does not necessarily follow that the District has a legal privilege to refuse compliance with discovery reque
