Kodak Black Accuses Cops & Media Of Violating His Rights With Leaked Arrest Photo


Kodak Black isn’t happy with a photo himself in cuffs making rounds online.

Kodak Black has a laundry list legal issues that he has to tend to at this point. The rapper was arrested over the weekend for allegedly falsifying paperwork to obtain a firearm. Although information about his arrest was initially scarce, his arrest was confirmed after a photo him shackled up surfaced online. According to Bossip, he’s taking aim at the police and the media for using his image to brag about arresting a high prile artist.

The rapper filed documents in court accusing the media and law enforcement violating his constitutional rights after a photo him leaked online at the Miami-Dade police station. Kodak claimed that there was not a single reason for a photo himself to surface online except for the police to make a “big spectacle” and gain bragging rights.

According to Kodak, the release his photo was “for the purpose creating a news spectacle in showcasing a Grammy-nominated artist shackled and in custody for all to see.” He added, “Quite simply, there was no law enforcement or security rationale, and this was nothing more than a personal frolic for law enforcement to posture.”

At this point, a judge hasn’t ruled on the motion. Kodak Black wants the police and the media to be banned from distributing any photos him without law enforcement or security purpose.
