Search warrants related to the prostitution investigation that involves Patriots owner Robert Kraft at the now-infamous Florida massage parlor have revealed how police managed to hide surveillance cameras inside so they could record men paying for sex.
The records, which were made public on Monday, show police used what was only described as a 'tactical ruse' to coax two women to come outside of the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter on January 17.
While the women were standing outside in the parking lot, three officers managed to sneak inside and plant hidden surveillance cameras in the lobby and four treatment rooms.
As police were staging the tactical ruse, two other women showed up in the parking lot and questioned what the officers were doing, according to the warrants obtained by WPTV.

One of the women, spa owner Hua Zhang, allegedly told officers she lived across the street and could see what they were doing because of cameras she had inside that enabled her to watch from her cellphone.
Police found the cameras Zhang mentioned when they were installing their own secret recording equipment.
Investigators seized Zhang's cameras and footage because they believed it would show evidence of further alleged prostitution.
Zhang and spa manager Lei Wang were later charged with numerous prostitution-related offenses.
Nearby businesses recalled the police activity on the day and found it odd that the spa was the only one cordoned off and being targeted.
It is not clear exactly what the police ruse was.
The purpose of planting the cameras was so the officers could watch in real time as multiple men came into the spa to pay for sexual favors over the next five days.

They had been watching the spa from the outside for six months because they suspected it was a brothel and were investigating possible sex-trafficking. They estimated that more than 1,500 men frequented the premises during the months-long investigation.
Police allege that they caught Patriots owner Robert Kraft twice paying for sexual favors three days after they set up the cameras inside.
The videos were what led to Kraft and 24 others being hit with misdemeanor charges last month. Kraft has denied the charges and an arraignment has been set for March 28 in West Palm Beach.
Police said there is video evidence of everyone accused of solicitation in the case.
Lawyers for some of the men have filed court motions to keep the videos from being made public, arguing their clients were recorded without their consent.
Authorities said the videos were authorized under 'sneak-and-peek' warrants, which allow authorities access to private property to search without notifying those under investigation.

Officers also planted tracking devices on Zhang and Wang's cars, which allegedly connected them to two other illicit nearby day spas.
Both Zhang and Wang's American bank accounts have been frozen and police said they seized $140,000 in cash after obtaining warrants for the women's safety deposit boxes.
Zhang, who is on house arrest, has pleaded not guilty to 29 charges, including third-degree felony of deriving support from prostitution and misdemeanour charges of soliciting prostitution, renting a space for prostitution and mantaining a house for prostitution.
Wang has also pleaded not guilty but remains in prison with a bond of $256,000.
Authorities have said they have footage that allegedly shows Zhang and Wang participating in sex acts with men.
The founder and one-time owner of the spa, Li Yang, was drawn into the firestorm surrounding the investigation after a photo emerged of her attending President Donald Trump’s Super Bowl watch party at his West Palm Beach country club in February.
Yang, who goes by Cindy, wasn’t charged in the multiagency anti-human trafficking operation. She sold the Jupiter spa to Zhang around 2013.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
