ST.
PETERSBURG, Fla. - FBI agents visited the offices of adult-content
provider Candid Cam on
Sept. 18 for a random 2257 inspection, Candid Cam attorney Mark Dolan told AVN Online.
"We were in good order at the
time of the inspection," he said Wednesday. "My clients have been very serious
about keeping their records since 1998. They also have updated software to
manage all of our records, which is a big help, and the FBI really appreciated
it. I guess the FBI is really starting to do more of these checks. They
mentioned that they have already completed 65 of them so far and that they
would be spending two days in Florida
conducting 2257 inspections."
Dolan was present during the
four-hour inspection by about five agents in the company's conference room. He
said the agents were "very pleasant, professional and low-key," and apparently had
viewed various Candid Cam titles and made books of screen captures for each
title. Dolan said the company was prepared, armed with identifications for all
releases.
"There were a few small items
they asked us to address," Dolan said. "One was that one of the IDs that had
been faxed to us was illegible. They wanted a clean copy so they could see the
clear photo, name and [date of] birth on the ID.
"One more thing they wanted
was a recent address on our DVDs. We used to be in Tampa
and we moved to St. Petersburg,
so they wanted the current address for the Custodian of Records, which is
something you have to put on the box of the DVD and inside the body of the DVD
if you were to view it. They wanted that address corrected.
"One more issue they
addressed was that there was one title [for] which we had releases for every
performer. Yet they wanted that one title broken out by scene, and they just
wanted the IDs of the people who were performing sex acts in the title. We had
IDs for everyone, including people who were clothed in the background, and they
wanted us to break it down for them and tell them what scenes they were in."
Candid Cam
was given a report and asked to respond to those items within a week, Dolan
said.
"We responded within three
days," he said. "I called the agent today to make sure they received everything
in good order, and I'm waiting for a callback."
