The American Civil Liberties Union has filed an amicus brief — a document submitted to a judge by a person or group intending to influence the court’s decision in a trial to which they are not party — on behalf of Joseph Foreman, aka Afroman. The ACLU’s action comes as Foreman faces a lawsuit brought by Ohio police officers who raided his home in August on suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping, found no incriminating evidence, and felt humiliated when the Palmdale, California-born rapper used security camera footage from the raid in several music videos promoting his album Lemon Pound Cake, released the following month.
