Another 2257 Inspection

Hello everyone. This is important enough to break my silence on these issues.

The UPI story reports only two adult entertainment industry 2257 inspections. An adult entertainment industry attorney has told XBIZ that the inspection of Ruch’s office was not technically a 2257 inspection because it involved a search warrant, whereas inspections of Robert Hill Releasing and Diabolic were each conducted without a warrant.

Now the idea of the FBI ransacking your house looking for stuff is in perspective, they actually did have a judge sign off on a warrant for what wasn't directly a records inspection, but rather a raid or police operation of sorts.

That would suggest that there was enough probable cause given to a judge to justify not only a standard 2257 (no warrant required) but a fuller inspection of all of the premises (looking for child porn or other illegal material).

I see no "total harrassment to be ransacking the entire house" in this situation.
