Yeah, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this was even a case. I don't know anything about antitrust outside the standards essential patents stuff, but it seemed like a stretch to say that people don't buy apps from Apple.

The argument almost makes sense in these 3 sentences:

quote:

The problem is that the 30% commission falls initially on the developers. So if the commission is in fact a monopolistic overcharge, the developers are the parties who are directly injured by it. Plaintiffs can be injured only if the developers are able and choose to pass on the overcharge to them in the form of higher app prices that the developers alone control.

looks like it's the same as the previous ruling, lack of minimization, plus the traffic stop was also suppressed

quote:

Judge Hanser agreed in his ruling, writing, "The Court finds that the search warrant does not contain required minimization guidelines, and the minimization techniques employed in this case did not satisfy constitutional requirements ... all evidence against the Defendant obtained through and connection with the search warrant is suppressed."

Hanser added that the police stop of Kraft's car on Jan. 19 was an unlawful search, and as such, all information obtained from that search is also suppressed.

The stop is suppressed as a result of the video being suppressed. The stop was legal only if they have PC of an offense or reasonable suspicion of a traffic violation. They only had the former because of the officer watching the video. Without that, the stop has no predicate.

The lawfulness of the stop is predicated on the legality of the video evidence.

e: my personal guess is the attorneys assigned the misd division got cocky after kraft's attorneys had to file four motions or so each just to get their pro hac vice in order and got taken to the woodshed at the hearing by not being properly prepared.

They were arguing that releasing it could taint the jury pool. No jury, no taint.

lol

I thought the wording of the order was the release was stayed pending:

a. Trial juries being sworn in each [criminal] case;

b. The cases resolving by plea agreement;

c. The State no longer pursuing the charges against Defendant.

d. At any other time at which the Court finds the fair trial rights of Defendant are not at risk, after notice to the parties and hearing thereon.

Florida lets him assert a possibility of others' privacy invasion as a grounds to suppress against himself? Or was he asserting that the police used a drag net and he was a bycatch? How does he even have a REP in a surveillance video in someone else's business? I want to read this order. Anyone have a link to it? That ESPN article has nothing.

This whole thing smells fishy. Much like he must have smelled after visiting that place.

The order isn't public yet as the clerk hasn't finished review. It'll probably be up early in the AM.

From the article it seems the judge's bases for suppression were an inadequate warrant and insufficient minimization procedures. This was Kraft's argument. The potential hook on appeal is this is essentially a first impression when it comes to this type of warrant for Florida law.

Otherwise, no, this video is never going to come to light. It's under a temporary protective order right now, and that will be made permanent barring any appeal as it's fruit of the poisonous tree.

The judge didn't rule on the privacy invasion because Kraft has no privacy expectation when he's committing an offense.


E: Just thought of something - this is at the county court level. This is the absolute lowest trial level. If the state appeals, this may just go to circuit court down the hall to one of the other local judges. They have to go through that first before they get to an actual appellate panel.

They've fleshed out the article on espn since my post. It looks like it was a surreptitious video recording of the inside of the business. I thought it was something else. Like if you rob a Target, you can't move to suppress Target's surveillance video (well, you can, but I'd oppose and you'd lose). This was a more of a wiretap.

Still, I didn't know "did not do enough to minimize the invasion of privacy of other customers," could be a valid path to suppression. Invading the privacy of others is the whole point of a search warrant! Because people have a reasonable expectation of privacy! There must be more to it. Maybe there are special wiretap rules, I bet that's it.

It's so interesting to see what kind of procedural buggery actually matters to your courts. Over here, procedure fuckups usually tie in to time limits, procedural fuckups with the courts (such as selecting lay judges from a non-random pool) and issues of prosecutorial authority (three part system in which police prosecutors have this complex and dumb system to determine where prosecutorial authority lies). The policemen themselves can pretty much do whatever the gently caress they want, and there's no such thing as fruit of the poison tree thing. No way would I ever get evidence from a traffic stop suppressed under any circumstances, I don't think I can even cite you a case where that's happened.

The thing is, it might not be a valid path to suppression. The prosecution dropped the ball. This is a matter of first impression in FL, and they let Kraft’s people tell the only story.

Good point. SovCits are required to cite to the KJV, not the ESV. Dude should lose for that,

Plus the big one:
He wasn't even citing to Rom 8:28, he was citing Acts 16:26 (God breaks the jail even though Paul was in there for being a dick and disobeying Jesus. Paul stayed in jail anyway until he was released by the earthly authorities)

What? One name? Who are you, Seal?
Defendant admits in his own pleading that there is only illusion of confinement. Illusory confinement is ipso facto not confinement. Confinement is found only in the mind of the unawakened and unsaved. Defendant claims to have been saved. Those who are saved are not, by definition, confined. The temporal, physical world is the world of the flesh and is irrelevant, for Jesus was entombed and did ascend, without necessity of appeal to the arbiters of the physical world. Those who are with Jesus are free, regardless of the state of the body. Defendant is free in the spiritual realm. Should defendant continue in defendant's whining regarding confinement, defendant shall be advised to transcend his limited understanding of the Lord, and git gud with Jesus.
