Lodi Dah Dah!

How can I get one of those suits?

Because I won a case, cause I won... cuz I got high!

You thought you were gonna win a case, but I know my rights, my rights....

The unfortunate rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.

If a law enforcement agency raids a property under a warrant or a sense of danger, they are likely not required to pay for the damages they inflict upon your home.

They often push it on the insurance companies and the city or county if you're lucky.

This is why qualified immunity is needed to be eliminated. Police officers must be held accountable for actions when they conduct police business.

So in order to recoup losses, you make a music video mocking the situation. Now the deputies feelings are hurt and they decide to sue. Well, it did not work.

Mr. Joseph Foreman, you can smoke easy now knowing that you will be the scurage of Adams County, Ohio. The rapper and media personality known as Afroman was found not liable for damages against several Adams County Deputies.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Department raided Afroman's home in 2022. The acted on a no knock warrant signed off by a judge. The deputies broke down his door claiming they were alerted to a tip of drugs and kidnapping.

When they entered his home, security cameras were rolling as they rummaged through the home. The deputies were also accused of stealing $400 from him.

Instead of getting reimbursement from the Sheriff’s Office, he was told to file it with the insurance companies. So since they refused to pay, he decided to vent his anger on the mic.

Afroman is a rapper, comedian and media personality.

He lives in Cherry Fork which is 35 miles from Cincinnati.

The lawsuit was filed by several Adams County sheriff's deputies after a raid on the rapper's house and a song he wrote afterward called "Lemon Pound Cake. The song's video used surveillance footage from the raid.

The jury ruled in favor of Afroman and against the deputies on Wednesday.

Deputy Lisa Phillips tearfully tells the court, Afroman's mocking of her ruined her reputation. Afroman retorted that as a public servant, you disgraced yourself by your actions at my home.

Foreman said he created the song and video to recover losses after deputies broke his front gate and caused other damage while searching the property. Foreman was not charged with any crimes following the raid.

The deputies sued, saying the video and related publicity subjected them to ridicule, mental distress and danger, including anonymous death threats. They also accuse Afroman of making false statements.

The jury began deliberating shortly before noon. The trial began Monday and wrapped up Wednesday morning.

During his closing argument, attorney Robert Kiplinger asked the jury for specific amounts of money for each of the seven plaintiffs based on how much pain and suffering they went through.

The highest amount is requested for Lisa Phillips at $1.5 million. Brian Newland and Randy Walters are each seeking $1 million. Lastly, Kiplinger asked jurors to award $400,000 to be divided among Shawn Grooms, Shawn Cooley, Justin Cooley and Mike Estep.
