Is it illegal to film porn in other
 

Is it illegal to film porn in other states than in California,

What about Virginia and Florida.

its more grey but in CA without question its legal.

Just don't shoot porn in some redneck city.

Sweet trick questions hehe.
California has laws that cover such production, however rarely is anyone ever busted anywhere for shooting porn without permits or unless they are violating zoning laws. What they typically would bust you on anywhere would be: Obscenity, Pandering, Transporting someone across state lines for sex (human trafficking), lewd and lascivious conduct.

This is not legal advice, I am not the person you should be asking who would happen to be an attorney.

Florida is only second to Cali as the number two porn producing state.

Florida as well is only second to Ohio as the number of porn related cases.

do people really go to jail for filming porn

Alabama!

Asking for legal advice on GFY?

Dude...

no really legal advise just other gfy'rs experience and knowledge

you can film porn indoors anywhere, simply do a closed set... its the outdoor, in public and in public view things that will get you in trouble anywhere....

just call is pron and you're cool with the law.

good point

Disgruntled model rats you ass out and reports you to whomever. They get bug in ass. Opps your doing business out of a residential zoned address, double ops you within 1400 feet of a school, park, church, so forth.
Or if your just lucky they rob you ass.

Yes but those tend to be in specific areas.. Much like most porn in Cali is produced in LA and the southern area's of Cali. In Florida most of it is produced in South Florida or Tampa. However you try to do porn in say Polk county and you are asking for it.


Those are the safe havens much like LA is the safe haven for Cali.

I'm not a lawyer... but last night I did stay at a holiday inn express...

My hidden point is always get a local lawyer first at a minimum.

But has nothing to do with whether or not he will be getting in legal trouble.

It's almost compulsory to tell someone to speak to an attorney with a question like this, and it is certainly good advice, but really there are few attorney's qualified to answer these kind of questions. And those that are are not inexpensive. Furthermore, I believe that even well known industry attorneys often disagree even on fundamental issues in what seem like obvious first questions. Let's face it, porn is only quasi-legal in the U.S. anyway, and the answer to many particular queries could very well be, if you are in this biz you take your chances with many courses of conduct. Even if a thousand other companies get away with doing something, there are those handful of companies that get in trouble for doing substantially same thing, and there is not necessarily any particular eason other than "just because".

Jim_Gunn is the fucking man.

I would suggest not shooting in VA.

Ever.....ever........ever

I know one person who does...if you really want to i can put you in touch...you can ask him.

Hi
 

Yes please put me in touch with him

I guess it would be best to just buy a house in California and just fly there to film then come back to Virginia when done.
