Democrats shut down 10,000 more jobs



Los Angeles Democrats drive out 10,000 jobs.

---- The new "Condom Police" Law will force the porn industry to re-locate out of state or to Mexico.
---- Democrats drive yet more jobs out of the People's Republic of California.


The nation's Porn Capital of Los Angeles County voted to require performers to use condoms when filming sex scenes.

And porn businesses are already making plans to leave and take their jobs with them.

Larry Flint of Hustler said, "We won't be doing anything in Los Angeles."  He is already making plans to shift production to Mexico, Arizona or Hawaii.

The law, listed on the ballot as Measure B, was passed by 56 percent of the vote.  It could take several months before county health officials decide how to enforce it and whether they must begin dispatching prophylactic police officers to keep a close eye on actors.

The Department of Public Health issued a terse statement with no timetable for developing an enforcement plan. There was no hint of whether there would be surprise inspections or if public employees would be paid to watch porn flicks to see if actors were complying reports Fox News.

They also maintained it would be costly and difficult to enforce and could drive the business out of Los Angeles' sprawling San Fernando Valley.   The local porn industry generates about $4 Billion in sales and supports as many as 10,000 jobs, including actors, directors, film editors and crafts and makeup people.  Some 500 porn shoot permits were issued in 2012 reports the Los Angeles Times.


Jessica Drake  -  Forcing condoms in unconstitutional
The Wicked Pictures porn star and director says she believes a newly passed L.A. County law requiring condom use in porn filming is unconstitutional.




Several people who attended an emergency meeting of the industry's advocacy group, the Free Speech Coalition, last week, said porn producers have already been in touch with officials in Las Vegas and parts of Florida. In some instances, they said, tax incentives have been offered to lure them.

Through a quirk in county law, the industry might even be able to pack up and move just a few miles down the freeway to Pasadena or Long Beach.

Those municipalities, although located in Los Angeles County, have their own health departments, and Pasadena said earlier this week it won't enforce the new law.

That would be just fine for many actors and directors, who say they don't really want to leave their home base.

"People forget that porn people are people too," said Kylie Ireland, a veteran actress and director who has appeared in such films as "Being Porn Again" and "Calipornication."

"They forget that we have families and we are married and we have kids and we have lives and jobs and hobbies just like everybody else."
