News Afroman didn’t get high, he got sued

Afroman sued by law enforcement officers who raided his home

Seven sheriff’s office employees filed the suit claiming, among other things, that Afroman invaded their privacy.

No charges were filed after the raid. Sounds like straight up harassment.

hope the plaintiffs case gets tossed and afroman’s succeeds

I dont know dude, the peeps making the decisions are not the people who got mtv’ed … those just working folk. Blue working folk but non the less just doing what the bossman says.

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it works out for them.

In all seriousness, I'm wondering what grounds they have considering the footage is from his private home and they would have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Coupled with SCOTUS precedent that you're allowed to film police ... that is assuming there is no calvinball to reverse that one as well.

they shouldn’t get to hide behind this facade. Policing is a team, the plaintiffs should sue the shot callers who said go raid this house for no good reason ( if that’s the case )

It’s really rich to read cops complaining about their “rights” after a bull shit armed raid on someone’s home.

And the boys in blue wonder why they are respected less and less.

Sometimes the police are good people.

and sometimes they are not.



Everything you need to know is in the below quote:

In a bizarre turn of events unrelated to the civil suit, the sheriff’s office appeared to come up hundreds of dollars short returning cash seized from Foreman’s property.

This was armed robbery. Nothing less. The "police" involved are organized crime.

and it gets even worse:

An independent investigation by Ohio BCI resolved the matter last month, concluding deputies had miscounted the money during the raid itself.

The "thin blue line" got each others backs criminal conspiracy runs strong in Ohio.



Sometimes the only thing that can be done is to defund the police like Camden did in 2012 and start over with an entirely new department. For Camden, it resulted in a 70% drop in homicides and 46% drop in violent crime.

They have no reasonable expectation of privacy and they fucking know it. They're just being dickholes.
HOWEVER, using someone's image without permission might be a legit grievance. Unless those tapes qualify as evidence, in which case it might be a Public Domain issue.

Crazy, the cop with the Colt 45 only found two Zigzags. Good for him on not having anything around, proving what an upstanding citizen he is.

I mean, are we just worried about weed here? Did it take 20 years for the cops to catch on?

ez fix, remove MJ from the schedule altogether. Police want ez arrests, MJ provides that

I keep forgetting that your cops <> my cops.

probably true. American cops are trained to be gang members, protecting their own.

They are absolutely just pissed he made them look stupid. Well, they made themselves look stupid. He just made it public.

And that fat cop for sure wanted to eat the cake.

fantastic jams. I’ve only ever heard his one hit from back in the day

Really the warrant had kidnapping on it.. I would seriously question that.

I hope one of these songs wins a Grammy and they play the video during the ceremony..
