Secret massage parlor videos of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft cannot be used at trial, a Florida appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The 4th District Court of Appeal ruled law enforcement violated Kraft’s rights, which are protected by the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The court said allowing the videos to be used “would yield unbridled discretion to agents of law enforcement and the government” regarding Fourth Amendment issues, according to the Associated Press.
“The type of law enforcement surveillance utilized in these cases is extreme. While there will be situations which may warrant the use of the techniques at issue, the strict Fourth Amendment safeguards developed over the past few decades must be observed,” the judges ruled.
