Damn, that's harsh. You have a point, though. My post wasn't as well thought out as it could have been, but I didn't think telling him to 'get a lawyer' would help much because either he doesn't have the cash or just wants some general information.
As for your county vs. state laws comment, you're out in left field. Producers of adult content are protected from arrest throughout the STATE of California due to court rulings in that STATE. I understood that New Hampshire has enacted some legal protection in that state, but I haven't researched the specifics. Florida, it turns out, generally just turns a blind eye to porn producers and so it is a 'produce at your own risk' environment. But don't tell any of the thriving porn production houses in Florida, it might upset them.
In most other states, producing porn is considered the equivalent of prostitution, paying someone to have sex, and will get you arrested...please see below for some formal info:
-------------------
Procuring or pandering is the facilitation or provision of a prostitute in the arrangement of a sex act with a customer. Pimps are known under the law as procurers. Examples of procuring include:
* bringing a prostitute into a country for the purpose of soliciting sex
* operating a prostitution business,
* transporting a prostitute to the location of their arrangement, etc.
Criminal laws forbidding the procurement of prostitutes also would outlaw the importuning of the customer.
Pandering is one form of procuring. In most places where prostitution is illegal, so is procuring, whether the relationship between the procurer and prostitute is formal or informal.
-------------------
California law currently protects porn producers from pandering issues.
As for counties, that's where 'obscenity' charges would be weighed based on 'community standards.' But obscenity relates to distribution or performance or public display, not production.
Now, if I had asked him what caliber gun he was going to use to shoot the 'porn' or if it was even 'porn' huntin' season...you could have just called me a redneck.
