Patriots: Court rules police violated Robert Kraft’s rights with massage videos

Patriots owner Robert Kraft got a huge break in his massage case in Florida.

The law tried to treat the New England Patriots poorly yet again, but this time, the Patriots won.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft got a major win this week when police dismissed the video evidence of his illicit massages from court, claiming the police had violated his rights (as well as the rights of every patron they surveilled) by capturing the footage in secret.

Quite a loophole for Kraft, who may no longer face criminal charges from the incident that’s stained his resumé since just after the AFC Championship Game in Kansas City in 2019.

Reportedly, Kraft flew down and visited the Orchids of Asia massage parlor in Florida the day of the game at Arrowhead Stadium, then returned to Kansas City to watch the “We’re Still Here” Patriots take down Patrick Mahomes and his burgeoning Chiefs dynasty.

Though the owner became the butt of many jokes in the aftermath, his illicit behavior caught on video as part of a sting operation meant to incriminate the business, it appears the case may ultimately be dropped, leaving the 79-year-old out of a court of law. An appeal, however, is surely coming.

"“This ruling protects the constitutional rights and civil liberties of all the men and women who were illegally spied on in this case. More broadly, this ruling will further protect the civil liberties of all Americans, by helping prevent future Fourth Amendment violations like those that occurred in this case,” Kraft spokesman Ron Berkowitz said."

Whether you have a strong preference of Kraft’s guilt or not, it seems due process was done here, and reached its logical conclusion. Kraft appears to have been embarrassed beyond the boundaries of the law.

Additionally, said video will now never be screened in a court of law, no matter what. Perhaps this chapter really will come to a whimpering close.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is letting Cam Newton do his thing, and the rest of the NFL should be shuddering.
