Kodak Black has filed court documents asking a judge to ban Miami cops from selling his photos to the news media.

Black, who was born Dieuson Octave but changed his name to Bill Kapri, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service on Saturday, May 11, en route to the Rolling Loud Music Festival in Miami Gardens, Florida.

He faces weapons federal charges for lying on an application to purchase firearms from a gun store.

While in custody, a Miami police officer snapped a cell phone photo of the smiling rapper in handcuffs. The image shows the 21-year-old rocking a blue chenille cotton Gucci Tennis sweatsuit from the women’s Pre-Fall 2019 collection and a pair of pink metallic Gucci Flashtrek sneakers.

The rapper’s attorney filed documents accusing the Miami police of violating his Constitutional rights.

“On May 11, 2019, the defendant, a Grammy nominated recording artist, was taken into custody while en route to a scheduled performance,” his lawyers wrote in a document obtained by The Blast. “Thereafter, a photo of the defendant, shackled and still in his street clothes while sitting in what appears to be a private office, in the Miami Dade Police Department, appeared on the Twitter feed of a local reporter.”

The attorney insists there was no legitimate reason for law enforcement to take his client’s picture or send it to the news media.

“A photograph of an in-custody detainee taken without any legitimate law enforcement purpose has been found to violate the detainee’s Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights under the United States Constitution,” the complaint reads.

Kodak appeared before a judge in Miami federal court on Wednesday, and his bond was set at $550,000. The judge set a condition of his bond that he must remain on house arrest for the duration of the trial.

He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. He was also recently arrested at the Canada/U.S. border with a loaded gun and marijuana in his car.
