When it doubt try to hop on a movement.
This is a very slick way of try to make sure a sex tape doesn’t get released.
An attorney for Robert Kraft warned a Florida federal appeals court of a “police state” if videotaped evidence of the New England Patriots owner allegedly engaging in two misdemeanor acts of prostitution were to be allowed into the record.
“Well, these defendants didn’t leave on their underwear,” state deputy solicitor general Jeffrey DeSousa argued in the context of whether police secret cameras in the spa should have only run when a patron was fully unclothed. “Mr. Kraft removed his immediately. His first massage was on day two of the operation. He took his off immediately apparently, that’s an indication that he’s going to pay for sex. So we were authorized to film that.”
“Running across the state’s bid for reversal in all these cases is the specter of a police state,” said Derek Shaffer of Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, Kraft’s lawyer. “One where police could inject the most invasive forms of surveillance into the most sensitive and private of settings to investigate the most mundane offenses. Appellants stand together to defend the constitutional and judicial checks that have stood in the way of that. And that should continue to stand in the way of that in Florida, just as they do elsewhere in the country.”
Breonna Taylor is a situation that can occur when you have a police state.
