:LMAO: Afroman Sued for 'Invasion of Privacy' by Police Who Raided His Home
 

Plans to Countersue.

Afroman is speaking out amid his ongoing legal saga with his local Cincinnati law enforcement.

After he used surveillance footage of Adams County Sheriff's officers raiding his home last August in multiple music videos, seven members of the department have filed a lawsuit against the Good Times artist for invasion of privacy and unauthorized use of individual's persona, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

Anna Castellini, an attorney for Afroman (real name Joseph Foreman) said in a statement shared on his Instagram that they "are planning to counter-sue for the unlawful raid, money being stolen, and for the undeniable damage this had on my client's family, career and property."

The lawsuit alleges that officers searched his home "pursuant to a lawfully issued search warrant" on August 22, at which time he was not home but his wife and children were.

Afroman subsequently used identifying footage from surveillance cameras in his house and from his wife's phone during the search in several social media posts cited in the complaint, as well as his music videos for "Lemon Pound Cake" and "Will You Help Me Repair My Door."

Attorneys for the officers accuse Afroman of "willful, wanton, malicious" actions "done with conscious or reckless disregard for the rights of plaintiffs," claiming they have received death threats because of the videos and "have suffered damages, including all profits derived from and attributable to [Afroman's] unauthorized use of Plaintiffs' personas, and have suffered humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment, and loss of reputation."

Although the original warrant listed probable cause to search for evidence of drug trafficking and kidnapping, according to Fox 19, no formal charges were ever brought against the artist.

"I am a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen who was violated by criminals camouflaged by law-enforcement! I use my property/my video footage to make up for damages and to make the public aware of criminals disguised as law-enforcement," Afroman wrote Wednesday on Instagram.

Trust the police!

Trust

Trust the police!

Oh no

Anyway

I bet its because he got high

This off-season is already way too long. :doh!:

This is why I never rap on alien spaceships

This is an underrated comment

Crazy Rap is also very well known, even if not the same commercial success.

I wish they would have beat him up being being really dumb.

In a situation like this, a lot of times I'll side with the police.

In this case, my argument would be that the police would have no issue publishing his mug shot on TV or newsprint. The police would share their body cams in a FOI request and their videos could be shared of him and his family, even if embarrassing.

The should go eat a box of glazed and move on. They're wrong.

YOU SHUT THE **** UP

I'd like to know what the **** these cops are even doing...like what in the ****?

NGL that’s a good video and song. Nobody hates bad cops more than good cops and to be fair the majority of the ones on the search warrant were just doing their jobs. The ones the swore out the warrant and anyone of them that pocketed money or belongings on the search need to be fired.

Keep in mind, THEY are suing HIM.

We stole money from your house after destroying your gate and front door...now we shall sue you.

What the ****?

Saw this thread and the mega church Pastor toe thread and thought I had clicked into the D.C. forum. :doh!:

So their solution to the “embarrassment” Afroman inflicted on them is to create a situation where they will likely end up even more embarrassed. Oh and whatever legal costs Afroman incurs will likely be mitigated by the increased publicity and sympathy he and his family will receive.

This is some real smooth brained thinking there with these cops.

People are embarrassed daily through videos on the intrawebs. I have a difficult time seeing this being any different.

FYP

I see this as the ultimate troll job by Afroman. I mean, you really can't do much to the cops but this is good stuff.

Sheriff’s deputies acted on a warrant claiming probable cause existed that drugs and drug paraphernalia would be found on Foreman’s property and that trafficking and kidnapping had taken place there.

“They come up here with AR-15, traumatize my kids, destroyed my property, kick in my door, rip up and destroy my camera system,” he said in August.

The suspicions turned out to be unfounded. The Adams County Prosecutor’s Office said the raid failed to turn up probative criminal evidence, according to attorney Anna Castellini. No charges were ever filed.
