THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS NOT A JOKE: THE AFROMAN WARRANT
By now, the tale of Cooley v. Foreman, better known to America as “the Afroman defamation case,” or even just “the Afroman case,” has been repeatedly rehashed in the national news media. In general, the theme of this coverage has been bemusement: Afroman’s rap songs about the situation, the absurd answers given by the plaintiffs under cross-examination, and so forth. Yet overlooked in all the merrymaking is the grave violation of Joseph Foreman’s, also known as “Afroman’s”, fundamental civil rights under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
