Need help /raided and computers seized

harold, the difference being that I don't have a stream of paying customers coming through my front door, parking on people's lawns and coming in wearing nothing but a leather hood. What I do PERSONALLY inside my house is what I do inside my house. I don't make it the neighbor's business, nor do I care what they do at home (although one of my neighbors just got a new Mac, so I am sure they are an artist type!). Just in the same way I feel she should have the right to run an adult business, I think that her neighbor's have the right to a peaceful residential neighborhood safe for children. The rights of the many (her neighbors) outweigh in my mind the rights of the few (her) to run her commercial adult business from her house. If I was running a commercial porn studio out of my house, performers, crews, and whatnot going in and out at all hours, I would expect my neighbors to be upset. That I sit in front of a computer for 12 hours a day alone doing what I do isn't changing their lives one bit, so there you go. (and as a side note, the sales rep for the builder that sold me the house was very much aware of what I did for a living... and asked for passwords and urls to check out some hot stuff... so go figure!)

Hammer, I am not against prostitution, far from it. If a girl (or guy) wants to make a living selling themselves for sex, well, so be it. As long as they play safe, stay clean, and don't hurt anyone, who gives a rat's ass? The problem is that society as a whole (for the moment) has declared prostitution illegal (except in most Nevada counties), and that isn't something I can change. Would you honestly be happy to have a whorehouse or bondage and whip club next to your home, with your kids playing in the lawn looking over at the "johns" wanding in and out of the business next door? NIMBY. You don't mind the idea, but you wouldn't want it in your back yard.

Didn't you read closely? She registered her home business as a photo studio. She didn't mention to the city that it was adult oriented. "oops". (...and no, I don't have to obtain a permit from the city that I live in for a home business unless I receive clients at the place of business).

Common sense says that sooner or later, the neighbors would complain.
