Oatman, 2015 WI App 76, concluded that this section is overbroad on its face and invalid in its entirety. 948.14 HistoryHistory: 2005 a. 432. 948.14 AnnotationThe structure of s. 942.09, with its separate subdivisions for capturing and possessing a representation, and the legislature’s decision to import the definition of “captures a representation” from s. 942.09, along with legislative history indicating that the purpose of this section is to prohibit sex offenders from photographing, filming, or videotaping minors without parental consent, leads to the conclusion that “stores in any medium data that represents a visual image” as used in the definition of “captures a representation” in s. 942.09 does not include the mere possession of visual images.
