TL;DR Summary

Afroman, the rapper known for hits like "Because I Got High," made music videos featuring home video footage of a police raid of his house last year. Now some of the officers are suing him for invasion of privacy, and he plans to countersue for stealing his money and defamation. Afroman released an album with songs about the raid and created merchandise and social media posts calling out the officers who had been involved. The officers are seeking all of Afroman's profits from the use of their personas, as well as a court injunction to take down the music videos and social media posts.
