him to see legitimate massage sessions along
with the alleged sex-for-money activity.

He said the Sheriff’s Office was required
by the warrant to “stop the recording” once
deputies saw the woman was receiving a
lawful massage. To do so, however, would’ve
prevented them from observing the actions
taking place in the other three rooms.

Metcalf said he hadn’t requested all of vid-
eos from the East Spa’s two massage rooms
because Vero Beach police use a different
recording system that provides visual access
to only one room at a time.

Two weeks ago, a Jupiter man filed a fed-
eral lawsuit against the town police, one of
its detectives and Palm Beach County’s state
attorney, Dave Aronberg, alleging they vio-
lated his constitutional rights by video-re-
cording the massage he received at the Or-
chids of Asia Day Spa.

The plaintiff, using the name “John Doe”
to protect his identity, accused police of
“spying” on him while he was in a “state of
undress” during his Jan. 19 massage at the
Jupiter spa, where he “did not engage in any
sexual or illegal activity at any time” during
his visit. The lawsuit states that the plaintiff
suffered “invasion of his privacy” and “em-
barrassment” as a result of the video surveil-
lance.

According to Aronberg’s office, four of the
spa’s customers – two men and two women
– were recorded while receiving lawful mas-
sages. Metcalf said there’s no legal precedent
or case law in Florida pertaining to the type
of stealthy video surveillance used during
the prostitution sting. Instead, he said state
courts have interpreted the law to authorize
such surveillance, relying on a wire-tap stat-
ute that “mimics” federal law.

“There’s no Florida law that specifically
authorizes surreptitious video surveillance,
because we don’t do this,” Metcalf said, “so
they’re applying wire-tap procedures.”

Those procedures, however, require law
enforcement agencies to report back to the
judges and end the video surveillance once
enough evidence has been obtained to pros-
ecute the case.

Metcalf said the local judges didn’t in-
clude in their warrants the clause requir-
ing the agencies to “cease the interception”
when enough video evidence had been col-
lected. “We’re definitely in uncharted terri-
tory,” Metcalf said. 

Riverside’s ‘Legally Blonde’: Perky, quirky and fun

By Pam Harbaugh | Correspondent Kathryn Brunner as Elle Woods.
[email protected]
PHOTOS: HOLLY PORCH
Riverside Theatre and Walnut Street The-
atre spent a whopping $1,390,513 to co-pro-
duce “Legally Blonde: The Musical.” Gulp.

As Elle Woods, in her perky pink suit and
clutching her bedazzled Chihuahua would
exclaim – “Oh My God … Oh My God You
Guys!”

But no worries – Elle is here to say that
you can have it all.

That’s what you learn in the snappy, bub-
blegum musical “Legally Blonde,” which has
come to energetic life at Riverside Theatre.

The 2007 musical – based on the 2001
Reese Witherspoon movie, which was based
on Amanda Brown’s book – revolves around
a perky young woman, Elle, whose signa-
ture color is pink. And yes, she’s got gobs of
blonde hair.

Director/choreographer Richard Stafford
keeps the bouncy pace bright and breezy
throughout. Dancers fill up the space with
gyrating arms and high kicks, and fling their
bodies this way and that, like it’s a televised
Dance Party and everyone is doing “The
Pony.”

Music director Anne Shuttlesworth
leads the almost non-stop music, written
by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.

IF YOU BID UP, PLAY UP AS WELL A4

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist AJ65

The Farmers’ Almanac in 1978 claimed, “To err is human, but to really foul things up requires J54
a computer.” Also to split an infinitive?
A732
Players who bid up must know how to play up, to make the maximum number of tricks. In
today’s deal, South pushed into six spades. How should he have planned the play after West WEST EAST
led the diamond 10 to declarer’s ace? K52
K74 3
South’s two-diamond rebid was New Minor Forcing, showing at least game-invitational 10 9 8
values and asking partner to describe his hand further. Three spades was game-forcing, KJ64 Q 10 9 8 2
promising a long suit. North liked his maximum with three aces, so control-bid four clubs.
(With an unappealing hand, he would have settled for four spades.) South used Roman Key 7632
Card Blackwood and jumped to six spades when he learned that his partner had two aces
and the spade king or three aces. 10 9 8

Things looked grim, but hoping for the best, South ran the spade queen. When it won, SOUTH
declarer realized that if trumps were 2-2, he was safe; but if West had started with three
trumps, South had to find him with exactly 3-3-3-4 distribution and the club king. Q J 10 9 8 7 6

Declarer played a heart to the ace, ruffed a heart, crossed to the spade ace (bad news), 3
ruffed another heart, cashed his other two diamond tricks and exited with a spade to West’s
king. Good news — West had to lead a club away from the king. South won with his queen AKQ
and claimed his very lucky slam.
