They couldn't force them to be open the hours 2257 instructs, however...
From the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act in Canada as I suspect many other countries are similiar AND since Doctor Dre is a canuck (irrelevant sections omitted)...
(3) For the purpose of clause 4.3 of Schedule 1, and despite the note that accompanies that clause, an organization may disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual only if the disclosure is
(c) required to comply with a subpoena or warrant issued or an order made by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to comply with rules of court relating to the production of records;
(c.1) made to a government institution or part of a government institution that has made a request for the information, identified its lawful authority to obtain the information and indicated that
(ii) the disclosure is requested for the purpose of enforcing any law of Canada, a province or a foreign jurisdiction, carrying out an investigation relating to the enforcement of any such law or gathering intelligence for the purpose of enforcing any such law, or
(iii) the disclosure is requested for the purpose of administering any law of Canada or a province;"
While the secondary producer section of 2257 is a direct violation of Canadian Privacy laws and CANNOT be enforced by the FBI (meaning they couldn't force ANY Canadian producer to hand over the ID's to their U.S. clients because they'd then be forcing those producers to break their own countries laws), for them to show up on the doorstep of a Canadian producer and request those records themselves, isn't exactly a stretch. Could they do it without cooperation from the RCMP? Not a chance. But does anyone really believe if the FBI approached the RCMP and wanted to make inquiries to ensure the legal age of adult actresses performing in Canada, that the RCMP would object? I for one highly doubt it.
Remember that above all, we are pornographers and while we would certainly have more support than our U.S. counterparts, the overriding sentiment would still be against us.
All imho
