Police Secretly Watch Hip-Hop Stars
Sweeping

unprecedented
(AP)-Police in Miami and Miami
Beach say they are secretly monitor­
ing hip-hop stars P. Diddy, DMX
and others to protect them, but ce­
lebrities and critics see the surveil­
lance as unnecessary and racist.
Officers have photographed rap­
pers and their entourages a, Miami
International Airport and staked
out hotels, video shoots and night­
clubs while consulting 6-inch-thick
dossiers of rappers and associates
with arrest records in New York
state. The Miami Herald reported.
“We have to keep an eye on

DeCurtis, contributing editor at
Rolling Stone magazine. “But there
has never been anything like this.”
Police began gathering intelli­
gence on rap artists after the Me­
morial Day 2001 weekend, when
250.000 hip-hop fans flocked to
South Beach for four days of par­
ties hosted by their favorite rap­
pers. More than 210 people were
arrested, most for disorderly con­
duct and intoxication.
Although no major rap artists
were arrested, police decided to

Officers were sent to New York
for a three-day training session in
May, along with police from Los
Angeles, Atlanta and other cities.
That’s where they received the
dossiers, said Miami police Sgt.
Rafael Tapanes.
“This kind of conduct shows
insensitivity to constitutional limi­
tations," said Nova Southeastern
University law professor and con­
stitutional law expert Bruce Rogow.
He represented 2 Live Crew when
the rap group was prosecuted for
obscenity in the early '90s. “It also
implicates racial stereotyping.”
Only one of 97 officers in super­
visory positions at the Miami
Beach police department is black.
Miami has 226 ranking officers and
26 are black.
“The cities should take taxpayer
dollars and put them toward some­
thing else," said Luther Campbell,
the former 2 Live Crew rapper.
