The FSC's constitutional challenges have been the main reason there have been no convictions.
Mark's article stated, "Also dealt with at the trial will be the Fourth Amendment violations committed by those charged with inspecting adult companies' records—at last count, 29 companies, all in 2006, none of which reportedly passed such inspection on the first try. (Some of the "violations" included such minutae as failure to keep the records in alphabetical order.)"
All inspections have failed. As I understand it and I stand to be corrected, there is no trial with a finding of guilt like a criminal trial; your guilt is self-evident in the failure to properly maintain the files. There is just some kind of administrative hearing with a finding of failure to maintain records to kick in the penalties. Worse case scenario, 2257 violations are heaped on other charges to get a confession of guilt.
