Thank you, judge. These Gestapo tactics have no place in the USA.

It isn’t enough to prohibit the use of the tape. The cops used a black bag operation to bug the room.

They belong behind bars.

the judge should have given the officers explicit instruction for how to monitor the video.

An X-rated warrant. Maybe we can invent AI editing software to cover up the naught bits/parts so they stressed out detectives don't have to stress out over those portions of the tape.

I’m glad he’s fighting this smear job. This case had nothing to do with fighting human trafficking and everything about burnishing the political career of some sheriff or DA once a rich guy ended up on tape. A defendant of normal means swept up in a sting like this wouldn’t be able to fight back, and precedent means a lot.

They should not be able to release it to the newspapers and websites that want to make money off of it either. It should remain sealed.

if kraft were poor, the tapes would have played on local news before he was charged.

It’s sick and disgusting that members of this forum not only support prostitution but vocally defend it on a conservative, pro-family, pro-God forum.

The slouching toward Sodom started in our culture many decades ago, before any of us were even born. The right seems to be moving that direction a little slower or less openly, but it is still moving the same direction as the left—straight for Hell.

This nation was once a Christian nation that spread the Gospel to the whole world, translating the Bible into many languages. Today we export abortion, “gay marriage,” and the adoption of children by homosexuals. Our society is collapsing under the weight of moral filth, but some even on this forum will defend these things all the way to entry point of the mouth of Hades.

If this nation does not repent, God will also not spare it. it will END.

If so, God will spare a remnant of this nation that fears Him and will raise them up as a new nation. It will be smaller, and probably poorer and weaker at first. but it will have God’s blessing. And this once great Nation will perish from the earth.

When this story first hit the media, I was watching a Miami local station. Within about fifteen seconds the kid reporting the incident threw in “Kraft is a good friend of Donald Trump....”

Cracked me up. So for this reason I am pleased to see Kraft prevail.

Kraft’s attorneys argued during a recent hearing aimed at throwing out the recordings that Florida law allowing audio wiretaps says they can only be used for serious felonies such as murder or kidnapping, not lesser offenses such as prostitution. They argued video, which is not specifically covered under Florida law, should have a higher threshold.

...

Initially, it was reported that this case involved human trafficking. That turned out to be false.

There was a lot here that was heavy handed. Most articles focus on the video. There is also the traffic stop. No probable cause. Kraft wasn’t driving. They just pulled the car over and ask Kraft for his ID.
