State deputy solicitor general Jeffrey DeSousa argued that police and prosecutors need the recording to convict the owners of felonies. The owners must be shown receiving payments from the prostitutes and the only way to get that is to install cameras, he said.

He said detectives had to fully record all massages, because the sex acts happened at their conclusion and 95% of male customers received one. While no female customers paid for sex, they were few in number and to not record them could be seen as discriminating against men, he said.

Looks like Kraft may get off again.

Wonder if his lawyers cost more than the tips he left for the gals.

NFL owner Robert Kraft isn’t the only prominent name—or billionaire— snagged in a Florida prostitution bust.

Others named in the sweeping sex sting include billionaire Wall Street financier John Childs, as well as a former Citigroup president and a president of a Florida Boys and Girls Club, according to reports.

At the same time, WPEC-TV reported Friday that the probe also nabbed three former law enforcement officers in Indian River County.

Wouldn't this be a violation of the 4th for the massage parlor and not Mr. Kraft? Why would Mr. Kraft expect privacy at a massage parlor known for having pros at?

Initially, the state said human trafficking was involved, which turned out not to be true.

Sounds right to me. The ruling class don’t have to live by the same rules that the citizens do.

Want to buy a judge? Evidently they’re all for sale in the US, right up to the highest court in the land (Roberts).

Of all the uses of law enforcement time and money, this has to be among the lamest. I don’t care if an old man chooses to pay for sex with some old women. I think it’s sad that all of them are in this position in life, but they certainly aren’t harming me or anyone else. Crack down on Antifa and all of the rioters, and leave the old people in peace.

If the government could do this they could put cameras everywhere, in private places, and then just sit around and wait for crimes.

Store enough data and you’ve got a history. Then, if you come onto their radar, they can just scroll through your past and see when you’ve littered or spit on the sidewalk or scratched your balls in public

This isn’t about what Kraft did. This is good news for constitutionalism.

[1Old Pro]

“To permit otherwise would yield unbridled discretion to agents of law enforcement and the government, the antithesis of the constitutional liberty of people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures,” the court added

Sounds good, thank you Florida Court.

At Kraft’s age and with his wealth, he doesn’t care about being labeled a John. He’s strutting around like a rooster because he can still get it up at his age.

[Old Yeller]

Sounds like a happy ending to all this for Kraft.
