Prostitution vs. Pornography
I've been shooting photos of hookers for over 10 years now. I've always figured if caught I'd just chalk it up as a loss and keep it moving. Actually been trying to transition from dealing with crackheads for 5 years now, but I have a following with quite a few loyal customers. It's guaranteed money, so why stop. Besides, it's my own personal fetish. It isn't really even about the money to me at this point. I make enough to live on and get my thrills travelling. Most importantly, I just enjoy what I do.
I got busted last week while shooting a girl I've shot photos of many times before. The officers had a good time looking at all the footage on my cameras. Especially the tranny scenes. Thought they'd just give them back to me with a ticket and let me go. Nope, they confiscated my cameras and refuse to return them to me until I pay for the release of my car from impound. The cameras and car where confiscated separately. So, I contacted an attorney and he says because I was shooting porn, they violated my 1st ammendment rights. I'm not looking for legal advice here. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks the lawyer is just trying to get a quick grand from me. Is it even possible to win? At this point I'm trying to decide to fight or just pay the impound lot $900 bucks and move on. It's an old car, I've got others so transportation isn't an issue.
