    Right to privacy when breaking into someone elses house is an INSANE thing to claim.
  • @assarcy1
    Imagine breaking into someone's house and then being upset that your privacy was violated
  • @KindaGhostyy
    Two months later and my heart still goes out to those officers who were BRAVE ENOUGH to fearlessly break his gate, kick in his door, steal his money and disconnect his security cameras. True heros.❤❤❤❤❤❤

    My son is fighting felony drug charges for less than an ounce of weed. This is so ridiculous that in 2023 we're still criminalizing a plant.
  • @andrewcole5658
    The fact that they didn't find anything and didn't charge him with anything tells us everything we need to know.
  • @milespaw
    If police offices want to individually sue citizens then qualified immunity must be ended immediately .
  • “If a cop doesn’t wear a camera, he doesn’t get paid” I love that. That will keep them more accountable.
  • @calebbeery2538
    Its crazy that a judge would even hear a case about police officers sueing for invasion of privacy when they were in his house. Who really invaded privacy here. Fucking brilliant
  • @UrMomOwesMeMoney
    “We feel humiliated that this guy outed us for wrongfully destroying his property” Good.
  • @raybod1775
    People who give false testimony for a warrant need to be prosecuted and held accountable.

    Afro man is so chilled and humble. He needs to run for mayor first.
  • @JustOneEarth
    I love this story so much. The officers have no expectation of privacy on someone else’s private property, performing their jobs as public servants. Afroman owns the images and can do with them what he wants.
  • @FauulaBoy
    Raiding a home with dozens of armed officers with false charges of kidnapping is also humiliating and traumatizing. Afroman should sue them instead.
  • @kellymoses8566
    Being able to genuinely annoy cops who wronged you is a very rare thing.
  • @pfsmith007
    I agree 100%, a cop's paycheck should be contingent upon a body camera, and your only on the clock when the camera is rolling. Also, no ability for the police to mute or pause the recording.
  • @jailelitaker9921
    Honestly, if you’re a cop, you’re a public figure, if you can’t handle being on camera, don’t become a cop. If you’re on someone’s HOME security system you don’t have a right to “privacy.” I support Afroman. I’ve been streaming his album ever since. “Lemon Pound Cake” is a masterpiece.
  • @DarwinWJ74
    You kick in an individuals door, you lose all rights to privacy. Specially when they were completely wrong.
  • @NinaBabyDaddy
    Im sorry but "did you find what you were looking fooor" had me rolling
  • @probagandalf3642
