Whether it is legal to record someone without their permission is a matter of state law. Wisconsin is a one-party consent state, meaning that only one person invovled in a conversation needs to give permission to be recorded. Thus, if you and John Smith were engaged in a conversation, it would be perfectly legal for John to record that conversation without informing you. But if Jane Doe was not a participant in the conversation but she secretly recorded the conversation between you and John without permission from either of you, then her recording would be illegal. Thus, whether this filming was legal or illegal will depend on the circumstances.
However, even if somebody has permission to record or film you, this does not necessarily mean they may use the recording or film however they want. This depends mainly on the nature of the use. For example, if you were being filmed by a news crew for somehting newsworthy, this is likely falls under the doctrine of "fair use." Also, if you are a public official or otherwise famous, it is more likely that the use would be considered fair use. However, if your likeness is being used for profit, they typically need your permission to do so. If you have agreed to be filmed and have signed a contract related to such filming, the contract will describe exactly what rights the other party has to use your image.

If so, this likely constitutes copyright infringement and/or misappropriation of your likeness, assuming that you have not signed a contract that gives the other party rights to do this.
If you instead mean that the other party has surgically inserted a computer chip into your body without your permission, then this likely constitutes an assault, and I would recommend contacting local law enforcement as a first step. ...
