Jay-Z's Team Roc files lawsuit against Kansas City police department for allegedly covering up misconduct

Jay-Z's Team Roc filed a lawsuit against the Kansas City Police Department, accusing it of covering up police misconduct.

In its latest push for police reform, Jay-Z's Team Roc filed a lawsuit in the district court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, on Monday against the Kansas City Police Department, accusing KCKPD of covering up alleged police misconduct.

Team Roc, the philanthropic arm of the hip-hop mogul's record label, Roc Nation, is suing for access to records that, according to the lawsuit, would shed light on complaints filed against members of KCKPD's investigative division, including documents related to the training and supervision of KCKPD officers.

Attorney Alex Spiro, who represents Team Roc in the suit, told ABC News that while the KCKPD provided some information requested through the Kansas Open Records Act, the documents the department provided were "not sufficient."

"Because of the [Kansas] Public Records Act that allows interested parties to look at various states and government documents, we're allowed to see certain files and how the government handled certain issues," Spiro said. "The government has attempted to block our access to those files, and so we're suing to see what they don't want us to see."
