20. This wasn't gathering string, it was merely adding to the body count...

Over 9 months. And to what end?

Certainly NOT what they said in the petition to the court for a warrant. That was based on child endangerment and human trafficking. If that had been their goal, they could have determined it after the first few videos and made arrests. Sorry, either there were kid working or there weren't. You don't need 9 months to wait for one to show up (and btw, over dozens of busts of these massage outfits, none were ever found).

This was a blatant violation of civil rights. The court already agreed with that by throwing out the evidence. Of course prosecutors are appealing - it leaves them with nothing but disgrace. As it should.

I'm not hopeful FL courts will have a civil rights viewpoint, especially the FL sc. So it may get overturned. But it was still wrong. It was still a violation of civil rights.

But hopefully they understand the implications of setting up broad un-targeted surveillance inside hotel rooms, or rest rooms, or anywhere the public has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Because if they wanted to target trafficking, video surveillance of major hotel chain rooms would be a good place to gather evidence. Of course they would be monitoring unsuspecting travelors, families, lovers, and children; but hey, it would all be legal, right? Strings. We must gather the strings!
