This quote from the article is interesting.
Prosecutors decided this week not to appeal that decision to the Florida Supreme Court, saying a loss there could have "broader, negative implications" on future law enforcement investigations beyond the Kraft case.
Translation: he's got enough money to fight it and we know that it was illegal to video the room. Therefore, we'll let him go so he doesn't set a precedent that keeps us from prosecuting middle and lower income people using those same methods.
I'm not a fan of Kraft - quite the opposite - but the truth is that law enforcement behaved illegally in this case. I wonder if they dropped charges against the other people that were arrested at the same time and place.
