some excerpts from this article....
"Florida’s constitution strongly endorses public records—including police evidence, including videos taken by Jupiter police of what happened inside a massage parlor where, according to law enforcement, Kraft twice paid for and received sexual acts."
"Decades ago, Floridians embedded their right to public records directly in the founding document of the state. The rule is simple and expansive: If a government agency has a record, it must be made public unless the law expressly saying otherwise. The constitution even goes so far as to say that the right to privacy “shall not be construed to limit the public’s right of access to public records.” This goes for all records, from text messages to drafts of proposals to posts on a city’s Facebook page. This also applies to evidence gathered by law enforcement—in this case videos recorded by Jupiter police of men, including Kraft, receiving sex acts at a the Orchids of Asia during a prostitution investigation."
"During the court hearing, which lasted more than three hours, I didn’t hear the lawyers cite a single piece of Florida case law. Most of the time was occupied by Burck citing the Fourth Amendment and how its right to avoid unreasonable search and seizure means this particular piece of police evidence isn’t a public record.
But he didn’t call it police evidence (which it is)—he called it pornography. " .... Burck said, “what is the interest the public has in seeing it?”
