Is Someone About To Get Prosecuted For 2257 Violations? Did anyone catch this?
 

Is this the same DOJ that is led by a guy who commits perjury and fires people who aren't loyal Bushies?

Oh good.. Some idiots are going to cause problems and end up putting everything under the spotlight of the media and give all the politicians more ammunition.

Isn't Bushie your boy? Next time join the team that fight for YOUR rights. Not the rights of Jesus freaks.

The article seems really interesting. I wonder what will come of it.. the first big case for violations will make mainstream news for sure.

"Some companies have violations and failed to resolve them."

So it's more than one. Funny thing is, everyone who has been inspected has been on the boards or the adult news sites claiming to have passed with flying colors.

will be interesting to follow this in the coming months.

I think this is one of the companies:

"The FBI 2257 inspectors visited the offices of Robert Hill again last week to follow up on IDs that were missing during their first sweep a few months back. Once again, there were missing IDs. Time may be running out for them to get it straight before federal charges start accumulating."

From the article:
"However, two producers have had records indicating two performers were underage at the time of filming. According to the identification on record, both were 16 years old on the production date.

Although additional investigation determined both performers were of legal age, it does demonstrate some producers' record-keeping is so poor they could negligently hire an underage performer."

Like they need any other reasons to proceed....

Also, Gentlemen's Video didn't cross-reference their stuff

"The company's 2257 records weren't cross-referenced, which is a technical violation. The agents told the company to cross-reference the records, and Gentlemen's Video has hired a person to do so."

Right after that is says

"Although additional investigation determined both performers WERE OF LEGAL AGE, it does demonstrate some producers' record-keeping is so poor they could negligently hire an underage performer."

So they weren't underage, the companies just didn't know how to keep good records.

Considering Girls Gone Wild got nothing more than a fine for their shooting of underage girls and not having IDs of tons of others, I can't fathom the punishment being too harsh.

Good.

A few of the video companies had a LOT of violations. Who are they to think they are above the law?

The only need to show neglect.

see i don't see how you could come to this conclusion the only way in which
1. the ids were valid
2. they could have been 16 at the time of production
3. and further investigation determined both performers were of legal age

would be if the production date on file was miss marked by 2 years.

nothing about that circumstance demonstrates that they could negligently hire an underage performer since at the time of shoot they would have/did do the math correctly.

That is just blatant disregard and sloppy business :-(

I have no idea what happened, what I quoted was directly from the article as stated by "Joyner" who is the fbi guy; he was the one who said the performers were of legal age and the company kept piss poor records.

thanks for the link

You've mistaken me for someone else..

Sad part about Gonzales is if they do convict him of perjury or anything Bush will just pardon him anyway like he did Libby.

I bet those laws will reach europe real soon.
