...on a moderately famous rapper...
It'd help if you actually checked out what the confidential informant is telling you.
And remember - he has media, and has people with media skills... And security cameras. And munchies. Because he's that guy... Afroman's that guy who got high...

They confiscated over 5Gs from the OG, along with two doobies. Warrant was for major drug trafficking and kidnapping.
Of the $5,100, he got back all but $400, which seems to have magically disappeared.

Like a lot of these stories, I always wonder what (if any) evidence they had aside from the informant that justified the raid. I figure it wasn't much.
I wonder if we could get some legislation passed about this. At least get some sort of public report on how many warrants were signed, categories of what evidence they were based on, and the results of those warrants. It would be nice to know how many times cops are busting down doors and roughly what they actually found per warrant. I bet it would be a lot less than people imagine.

Afroman did the absolutely epic move of making a video using his security cam footage of the police raid.
He is also running for president, a move I can support as how can we do much worse?
I never heard of Afroman until my 22 year old neighbor told me about him.

Well played Afroman.

Can we get his position on the legal status of Marijuana? I really wonder...

It is a very nuanced position I’m sure.

Heck with the marijuana. I want to know where he found a running Good Humor truck for his video.

Failure of the checks and balances system. The judicial branch is supposed to guard against excesses of the executive (cops) branch.
It seems that too often they are actually cooperative conspirators, where compliant judges swallow the allegations of the police whole, without gagging a la Deep Warrant.
I also think the "executors" of the judicial orders get too wrapped up in their "qualified immunity" in terms of damaging personal property to execute warrants. They bust in your door and wreck the joint, that's too bad on you.
I have a lot of cops and firemen in my family, and as a kid, I was always taught that cops were your friend.
But that noble concept is being eroded more and more by enforcement excesses I keep hearing about. And most of them seem to be a result of the "War on Drugs, " which has turned into a "War on Rights."
I am of course aware that the judges have to rely on the sworn statements of the police officers, but they could at least hold the officers responsible if false warrants are served, however "accidental" they may be.

Want to raise your blood pressure?
Search youtube for "wrong house search warrant". "no nock raid wrong house".
It is proof positive that we really are a pretty civilized bunch of people. In a less civilized society I suspect that more than a few of those jack booted thugs would "disappear".
