My younger brother has decided to take after me and start a website. He put up some fliers looking for models around where he lives in Northern California.
Today he gets a call from a female police detective asking all sorts of questions--is this a business? Where does he shoot? What is his name, address, drivers license #? Is he a sex offender?
Now I don't think he did anything illegal per what kind of fliers they were. But I know that in some cities posting ANY fliers is illegal.
However, he also didn't answer the questions to where the cop felt satisfied. She said he should meet with her to discuss matters.
Am I crazy, or is this police officer mixing her personal politics with her job?
Maybe they have never dealt with this up there, but in So. Cal, the one run-in I had with the cops ended the second I showed them my release form. Perhaps she does not even know that what he is doing is legal?
Best I can figure, she is trying to pressure him into not seeking out talent in that area and is hoping to discourage him.
My advice to him was not to put up any more fliers and not to return her phone calls. I told him to wait until he gets a ticket for the fliers, or if they come to arrest him (for what though, I am not sure).
I told him that if they want to have him come in to talk, to tell them he will want legal counsel present and retain a lawyer immediately.
I also told him to specify a million times over to any other girls that call that they need to be 18 or over, and to keep pristine records of their proof of age--taking that information at the very beginning of a meeting, just to protect himself.
