Chart-topping singer Tiki Taane last night lashed out at police, saying the charges against him were "a crock of s**t".

The singer also took aim at National MP Simon Bridges, saying "The next time you come for me you better not miss". Bridges labelled Taane a "disgrace" after the singer recited derogatory lyrics about police on the night of his arrest.

Performing at the Sonic Waves Music Festival near Whangamata, Taane said he had been forced by police to sign a disclaimer not to incite violence.

He has written a song called Freedom to Sing about his arrest in Tauranga.

Taane was arrested after singing NWA track F*** Tha Police when police visited the Illuminati club.
