In a report by allhiphop.com, Bad Boy CEO and 'Vote or Die' organizer Sean "Diddy" Combs with others, including Jay-Z, Alicia Keys were secretly surveillance by NYPD months prior to the Republican National Convention in 2004.
"These documents paint a picture of a surveillance program that was broad, clumsy, and often unlawful," said Donna Lieberman, NYCLU Executive Director. "The NYPD failed to differentiate between unlawful behavior and behavior that is not only lawful but should in fact be cherished and protected. Today the public can finally bear witness to that failure."
