Kodak Black has had a few legal battles to face over the past few years related to several issues. This year alone, there have been numerous reports of his run-ins with the law, including one from February when he was accused of evading the law. Fortunately, that case is now behind him.
Kodak Black just scored a major win in court this week in Broward County. Per NBC Miami, a Florida judge granted a motion to dismiss a criminal case against Yak for fleeing and eluding law enforcement. Ultimately, it seems that the decision to dismiss the charge relates to a lack of evidence.
Court documents break down what happened when a Broward Sheriff’s deputy approached Kodak Black. Apparently, the deputy called out Kodak Black, asking, “What’s going on boss? You good?" Kodak said “fine,” and then drove away.

However, the defense explained that the cop didn’t indicate that Kodak had to stop in the first place. “The deputy did not request Kapri’s license, did not request a copy of insurance, did not step away from his patrol vehicle to engage with Kapri or give a lawful order in any meaningful way," the motion to dismiss said.
According to All Hip Hop, the prosecutor then tried to argue that Kodak Black defied an order not to leave the scene. Evidently, the judge didn’t think that claim was convincing enough.
This comes shortly after footage of another Kodak Black arrest surfaced. The body cam footage showed the rapper finishing a plate of takeout as the police waited to take him into custody. Throughout the interaction, he was completely cooperative while the cops themselves were patient.
