Freeway Ricky on Hiring Investigator to Follow Cops Who Were Following Him

Freeway Ricky opened up about his Emmy-nominated documentary Freeway: Crack in the System, and he revealed that his name was taken off as a producer in favor of bigger name Hollywood producers.
Moving along, Freeway spoke about the "Freeway Task Force" set up by police who would plant drugs and steal hundreds of thousands from his associates. He then explained how he hired an investigator for the situation, which later led to several officers being indicted.
You can hear more of what Freeway Ricky had to say in the above clip.
