You obviously don't know much about running a business in Florida.
[QUOTE=TrollingObt;5470135]They'd be running a business without a license. They could be hit with taxes and a shit load of penalties.[/QUOTE]I've been a business owner for the past 35 years. Florida did away with licensing requirement about 20 years ago. Anyone can start a business as a proprietor (using their own social security number / schedule A on 1040) whenever they want without registering with any agency (vendors at the flea market, detailing cars etc.). If you want to setup an LLC or a corporation then you'll need to register on sunbiz. Org for $80 and get a tx I'd from irs. Gov. Some businesses like barbers, hair stylists, masseuse etc. Require a license for their trade.
The video idea is a great idea! They would never be able to prosecute because of the 1st amendment. Making porn is a form of free speech.
Having a License vs Having a Permit
[QUOTE=Don1990;5469751]I have a general question with the addition of why don't these providers just make and account tell whatever john they seeing that they will video tape no faces and say they are paying to be in the video not for the sex seems simple and is a legitimate business so it looks like it's a way to not worry about LEO showing up.[/QUOTE]

You also have to have a permit to legally film an Adult Film or any commercial film for that matter in pretty much any part of Florida. You do have a constitutional right to make it but you have to follow guidelines demonstrate your right. Saying you have a constitutional right isn't always applicable. For example, you can't shoot a porno in public.
There's also a matter of records filed to prove all performers are over the age of 18. You have to provide all contracts / agreements for the actors and shooting. Claiming you are making a porno even for personal purposes is a grey area that I won't debate. Personally, I would not want to be the one to challenge it. Maybe Vincent Gambini is still active on here and can add some color.
