Chris Brown Graffiti: 'Fine China' Singer Claims Art On L.A. Home Protected Under 1st Amendment

The City of Los Angeles recently hit Chris Brown with a fine for having an "unpermitted mural" on the front of his home. Breezy's home is covered in graffiti and it appears the city of L.A. is not okay with that. However, they may just have to deal because CB says his art is protected under  his first amendment rights!

According to TMZ, Brown is appealing the city's ruling, claiming the graffiti he put on the outside of his Hollywood Hills abode "[enhances] the architectural and aesthetic features of the residential property."

He also claims "the murals are a reflection of [my] aesthetic taste and a reflection of free speech and expression protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."

Of course, if there is anything against said art in the bylaws of his neighborhood or the Home Owners' Association rules, the "Fine China" singer may be S.O.L.

As one TMZ commenter puts it:

"Most all high end communities, gated communities or structured communities have Associations. If you move into a community like that you agree to live by the standards of that community and everyone gets a copy of the rules and the household appearance guidelines. If you don't abide by them and don't follow the requests to correct the violation then you going to court. I'm thinking he violated the rules and he's not going to win. Those associations are there to protect all of the property owners and to protect the property values."

If Chris Brown loses the case, he can appeal to L.A. Superior Court.

What do you think of Breezy's case that his graffiti is protected under the 1st amendment?
