Paul Chambers🚧Mar 6

Afroman heads to court this month after deputies sued him for turning their unfounded raid on his home into viral music videos that exposed their faces and actions when he used his security camera footage of the raid.

The trial begins March 16 in Adams County, #Ohio, where the legal battle between the rapper and law enforcement has become a test case for free speech rights in the digital age.

Afroman’s argument is straightforward: he documented what happened to him and turned his story into art. #Law #FreeSpeech #Music

@paul Reminds me of the #GeorgeMichael video (“Outside”) where he satirized his arrest for lewd behavior. [

from Wikipedia:
In 1999, [arresting officer Marcelo RodrĂ­guez] brought a US$10 million court case in California against Michael. The court dismissed the case, but an appellate court reinstated it on 3 December 2002. The court then ruled that RodrĂ­guez, as a public official, could not legally recover damages for emotional distress.
