A color photograph of Flavor Flav. He is wearing a red jacket, a red and white sideways baseball cap, and red sunglasses. He is also wearing red gloves, earrings, and has a watch on his proper right wrist. He is sitting in the driver's seat of a white police car. His proper right hand is on the steering wheel and his left hand, which is out of focus, is sticking out of the window and pointing up. There is a decal on the driver's side door which reads [POLICE / DEPARTMENT / CITY OF NEW YORK] with a logo. There are red lights on top of the car. There is a white border around the image. It is thinnest on the two sides, thicker on the top, and thickest on the bottom. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated in diagonal lines.
