He was snapped during his stay in custody in Florida last month for drunk driving and drag racing and the images reportedly show "intimate" parts of his body, reports mirror.co.uk.

In a motion filed to a Florida judge, Bieber's ­lawyers wrote: "While in ­custody, the defendant was captured on videotape in various states of undress which show intimate personal parts of the defendant's body."

One video of him being frisked by Miami police has already been released and Bieber's lawyers say it is illegal.
