RAP Act Introduced In Congress Would Ban The Use Of Lyrics As Evidence In Court Proceedings

August 4, 2022

Reps. Jamaal Bowman and Hank Johnson on Wednesday introduced the Restoring Artistic Protection (RAP) Act to stop the use of lyrics and artistic expression as evidence in criminal cases.

"Freedom of speech is the constitutional foundation the framers thought necessary to enable a new and free society to craft not only its own destiny through commerce and innovations, but through culture, expression, and art," states Rep. Johnson.

That RAP Act needs to be passed expeditiously!!
