Florida Sheriff vs. Crew: The Ft. Lauderdale sheriff who arrested three members of 2 Live Crew said the rappers would be arrested again if they gave another performance like the one a jury ruled Saturday was not obscene. Although a Broward County jury found three group members innocent of giving an obscene performance at Hollywood’s Club Futura on June 10, Sheriff Nick Navarro said the verdict did not change Florida’s law banning obscene performances. “It’s against the law. Nothing has changed,” Navarro said. The group said it plans to perform again in Broward County, although no date has been set.
