(TOO MUCH information?!?)



They don't want it stored with protected information that make things awkward. For example it wouldn't be unreasonable for a company to scan HIV test results and store it in the general scene/shoot database ... but doing would subject that database to HIPPA, and I'm guessing the FBI can't take HIPPA-protected information without at least some minimal threshold of conceivable-cause, which is too much for an agency too lazy to file for a search warrant even after the fact in major terrorism cases.

Have a little sympathy for Agent Joyner. Can you imagine a lower job at the FBI than paperwork inspector? It's the ultimate career-ending assignment. I'm sure he knows he'll never get another promotion if this is the best work he can get now.

California is the only state where it is definitely legal to shoot porn (RIP Hal Freeman). I don't think the issue has been tested in any other state, at least not in modern times and not on appeal.

Personally I think it'd be a mistake for Florida to attack the issue squarely as I suspect they run a real risk of losing in federal courts, and then they're stuck with something they have to live with. By the time appeals reached the federal appellate level the next elections will be long over and the far right presumably hammered, and yes federal courts do notice big changes, especially when judges are trying to curry favor with a new president for that next US Supreme Court opening...

If Florida wanted to stop porn production they shouldn't ban it but rather regulate it to death. Porn production is a low budget thing and it wouldn't be hard to raise costs enough to kill it while not hurting mainstream efforts (think: Cal OSHA).
