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

in reply to Paul Chambers🚧 • • •"Seven law enforcement officers claimed they suffered humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, and loss of reputation after seeing themselves in the videos."
I fail to see the downside...
(to clarify, if you suffer "humiliation, ridicule, mental distress and loss of reputation" for a video that shows you doing your job, either you SUCK at your job, or your job is not something any decent person would be doing.)
