Any thought on the Afroman lawsuit?

This is one of the craziest stories I've heard in a while.
Police in Ohio raided the Home of Afroman looking for drugs and kidnapping victims.

Police allegedly stole money during the search and caused a bunch of damage. In the middle of the raid, they cut the security cameras that were in the house. Afroman created a song and music video from the footage he got before the cameras were disabled. The police are now suing Afroman for "humiliation" and "loss of reputation".

Do police have an expectation of privacy while conducting warrant searches?

It should still go down in flames, and in a state with an anti-SLAPP law (which penalizes frivolous lawsuits seeking to impair First Amendment speech) would be subject to a counterclaim on that basis. Ohio unfortunately does not have an anti-SLAPP law, however.

Not sure what youtube pays, but they may have a case for taking a cut.

Does anyone review why the warrant was issued?

I'm guessing that there had to be some evidence to support the charges of kidnapping. Now that a raid has been conducted, does anyone go back and figure out what went wrong?

Are there any penalties for executing a bad warrant and jacking up his house?

This story should've inspired a million parody verses of Because I Got High.

Couple of nice shots of the cops muzzle sweeping each other.
