Presumably unincorporated Los Angeles County won't be subject to these new regulations as its not the City of LA. And Ventura County is contiguous with the San Fernando Valley.

Producers have a lot of alternatives to shooting in the City of Los Angeles.




And how is that going to happen? If the producer is shooting indoors, the scene could be shot anywhere. Unless the AHF succeeds in getting a regulation stating that all porn shot in Southern California must have embedded GPS encoding, it's going to be next-to-impossible to know exactly where a scene was shot. Though I guess if a producer is dumb enough to shoot somewhere that can be identified as being in the City of Los Angeles--staging an orgy on the steps of City Hall, for example--then, yes, maybe they'll get busted.
