Yeah, its going to pass, The FSC is full of shit for one, Micheal Whiteacre is a snibbling, media harrasing,crybaby and has to always fuck with the editors of the newspapers and of weekly editorals and that not cool. They see that and its like, Fuck the Porn Industry, you harrass and bully the women around in that industry and maybe you do need to have condoms enforced.

Mr. Whiteacre needs to back off and stop fucking with people and making the Fucking Stupid Clowns look more and more like idiots.
by the way, Richard, that bullet train would come in handy for running pornstars and porn equipment back and forth to frisco if need be.

Weinfuck’s other option would be a state-wide signature initiative. That would require at least nine million signatures which would be impossible to get even for the well-funded Weinfuck AHF. So moving to SF would be viable and almost certainly would insulate them from further attempts to run the industry out of town.

James Lee’s press release yesterday was *ridiculous* claiming only 280 performers live in Los Angeles County “year round.” The APHSS database has been around for what….little over a year now? I must assume they’ve kept detailed records of where performers live since the system was started? And how the hell do they determine “year round?”

Who compiled this list? Joane Cachapero? James Lee? Who had access to go through a year’s worth of a performer’s records to determine where and when they lived in a certain area?

From APHSS’s FAQ:
Does the database contain my medical records?
[No. The database contains only information needed to verify performers’ availability, which is updated when you are tested at an APHSS.org participating testing facility.]

Is the database secure?
[Yes. The database has been built with several layers of security features, but no system is foolproof. In the event of a breach, the data contained does not include personal records. The system was designed this way to protect user’s privacy.]

So a performers address, and history of where they live are not personal records?

I knew when Measure B was announced the biggest enemy to the business would be itself. Why FSC has crawled into bed with so many assholes (or maybe they forced themselves into bed?) is just absolutely beyond me.

I didn’t think about that. Since this condom charade is the LA authorities way of running porn out of town they could do just as you say, Alex. That would sign the death warrant for porn filming in LA County. As I have said many times even if the county issues permits to condom productions after this law passes 90 per cent of porn production will likely move to San Francisco anyway but the stonewalling on permits would force even Wicked to move out of LA County. Either way, Mayor Ed Lee and the SF City tax administration must be licking their chops at the porn producers that will be moving into their fair city (and the tax revenue that they will produce). San Francisco/Marin rents and house prices (already extremely high) will go through the roof with all the new people looking for housing. I think LA County just fucked up allowing the condom initiative to even go on the ballot (there were a number of ways they could have kept it off the ballot, one being constitutionality of the proposed law).

“requiring adult producers to obtain a county health permit”.

This cuts two ways, one way potentially good for producers, and the other way a potential method by which the county can effectively stop adult production by law.

Basically, if the county does in fact start issuing permits to adult producers, it has stepped up another level in permitting adult performance and productions. When put up against a federal obscenity charge, producers can say “the county knew what we were doing and issued a permit”, which creates another legal hole to go play in.

The other side is the county could decide to make the rules regarding such a permit very difficult to meet. Can you imagine the costs required to have an on site physician during shooting, or ambulance on site, or to force the sterilization of any surface area where someone’s nude parts might touch on the set, performed by a licensed and certified contractor?

Just like with zoning laws and adult stores, they could make it very difficult (but still just barely legal) to do business.

They could also just deny licenses outright, declare a process by which permit standards would be created, schedule a series of public meetings, reviews, and so on, taking 12-24 months to craft rules for a permit, and in the mean time forbid shooting for lack of said permit. Someone might want to fight it in court, but it could get costly and the result not clear.
