"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" ---> don't terrorize an innocent citizen if you can't handle the fallout for your incompetence
defirence
Not to mention stealing his cash while being recorded on CCTV and only after all this shutting down his recording system. Kids with guns...

Hello, 911? We’ve got too much butthurt, send a waaaaahmbulance!

Showing us our own actions made us feel bad! How dare they!

Cops broke down his door, stole his cash, disconnected his home cameras, looking for a kidnapping victim and drugs
Corrodias
What, they forgot to bring some with them to plant?
SirSpiffyDijelos
They broke down this guy's door, accused him of kidnapping, rummaged through all his stuff, and STOLE HIS MONEY.
Chair5768
And his mama's lemon pound cake!

Police unions should be limited to negotiating pay and working conditions. And #eiminatequalifiedimmunity
Sechran
Is there a more banal term for the empowerment of tyranny than "qualified immunity"? Truly the "soylent green" of law.
Volimar
They also lost like $400 of the cash they confiscated in their raid. Ohio BCI investigated and said the cops must have counted wrong. Sure.
AsUpSoBelow
I hope he makes another song about this

the search was worth it, 'lemon pound cake' was hysterical. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k83gq/afroman-raided-by-cops-interview
PickleForBreakfast
Yeah, but when are we going to get the recipe for his mom's lemon pound cake?

That's funny as hell.

Exdeath5000
Have they arrested Afroman yet for this heinous crime? /s
heyletsbefriends
now make a music video of the lawsuit
kdid43
The affirmative act of filing suit by officers should act as a waiver of the qualified immunity and permit a counterclaim for their bad acts
mastikator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oponIfu5L3Y here's the song BTW

It's the best!

Thank you, have some lemon pound cake.

They'll never understand the Streisand effect, will they?
ModsSometimesHeedMyScamWarnings
I didn't know about this song or these cops. Thanks to them suing, I now know about both and I'm spreading the song to others.

And now that he has no choice, he can counter sue for the cost of the gate, the door and the missing money.
ReverseSyzygy
HOW DARE you exercise your 1st A rights from within your own home
ChooserX
Fuck their feelings 🤷♀️ Here's one of the songs Afroman made about it (funny but kinda scary & sad): https://youtu.be/oponIfu5L3Y

Bhargo
I'll stop saying it when a single cop proves it isnt true
pmmehugeboobies
It doesn't sound like cops even try to make it right after they screw up
dontmagpie
they did nothing wrong, though /s
TalkingSnake
Not gonna lie, that fat cop wanted some lemon pound cake.
dontmagpie
lemon pound cake is delicious. everyone wanted some
ToasterDent
to be fair, who among us hasn't broken into a house and been tempted by a lemon pound cake?
TalkingSnake
He didn't do it. But you just know he wanted it.
vanetz
He didn't do it cause that wouldn't count as 'civil asset forfeiture'. Those $400, on the other hand...
dalaiyoda
The cops are also suing for "loss of right to privacy". After a home invasion. ... I swear the simulation writers are quiet-quitting.
Bhargo
especially because all information shown is publicly accessible anyway so its not like he doxxed them or anything.
MoreButterForMyHam
And Ohio is a one party consent state, so they can't argue privacy
TheSkleebler
This! No reasonable expectation of privacy operating in public. Learned that from badge-cam videos!
CaveCanem
I realized in Season 2020 when the murder hornets were introduced and unceremoniously discarded a few episodes later
azarza
2016 clown craze..
IrrelevantHandle
I feel like that one carried through to 2020, except it was just one clown terrifying the nation instead of random night clowns.
Sechran
We're way past, "a glitch in the matrix" and deep into, "this bitch is infested with ALL the malware" territory.
farfie
Eleventy toolbars in the browser and a fiery sword mouse pointer territory.
ydwyrd
Can we at least get some cool viruses in there, like from Reboot?
IrrelevantHandle
Wow. I don't think I've thought of Reboot in decades.
ydwyrd
They did a reboot of Reboot a few years ago. It was terrible and you're better off not looking in to it. Keep your memories pure.
Sechran
Sorry, all our villains are congressmen and capitalists.
ydwyrd
I wold happily trade Musk and Boebert for Megabyte and Hexadecimal.
Tapception
Boebert in Reboot would show up as a gag and get destroyed violently within minutes so viewers won’t get too agitated and turn off the TV.
BrickShakes
Cops are such fucking cry bullies, hopefully the cops in question gets nuked in court and sent to jail for being maliciously incompetent.
unannouncedguest
he won't because that would be a different case
philmoregraves
It's not their fault they had to execute a bunk search, but it IS their fault crying about it
scuba7jb
The irony is too delicious!! So now the cops are worried about being safe & secure in their own home.
xj4low
Thin skin is a requirement for LEO's
kinarism
Cry bullies. Perfect.
whatdidyoureallyexpect
Unlikely. They’re probably going to win. They ARE the system.
BrickShakes
😿
PoliticalWanderer
Thin skinned, authoritarian, wannabe fascist bullies.
spicetothefoo
Think we can drop the wannabe now
SheepySleepySmuggler
It's hard to be a fascist bully when you're crying into your donuts about how people write mean songs about your incompetence
HedonistBeard
Hopefully the case gets dismissed, and at best they get told to give his shit back. Anything beyond that is too farfetched to call hopeful.
Jamesbaxster
If cops got sent to jail for malicious incompetence there would be a whole lot less malicious incompetence than there is.
BrickShakes
Yes, but a guy can dream.
WoodHandle
This is why Black Lives Matter.

the Sheriffs help in any way that they can? LOL
Fedotia
Because cops are all about "RESPAYKT MAH AUTORITAY!!!"
Bealzebuff
That's literally the reason he did it
OhHeyItsKeraShae

SuperIncoherentRantingMan
At least this way it isn't the tax payers shelling out for the police fucking up. For once.

I was gonna get sued by the cops, but then I got high.

That was awesome. I'm at work and started watching it then my coworkers came over to see what I was laughing at so I sent them the link.
DrPepper523
Yeah I've shared it with a few of mine too
xj4low
Funny because anyone can FOIA request any body cams they have, if any are wearing one. Public servants don't have the same expectation (1
YummyBubb1es
Oh it wasn't bodycams, it was his home security footage he used.
xj4low
Yep, on his property and his cameras so no different from being in a bank, coffee shop, restaurant, office supply store, walmart....
SleeperXib
Shame cops can just turn them off when they're about to do crimes.
xj4low
2) of privacy as normal public.
KronianSerpent
While on duty, that is.
xj4low
3) And don't forget, they are in his home and complained about the video he had of them inside his own house where they found nothing.
DrunkKingOfImgur
They were gonna pull all the legal stops, but then I got high... they still wish they had my money, but they can go cry!
PaintyGuys
In the music video you can see a cop pocket some money during the raid.
mattcl3v3land
And I know why….

Why, man?!
