Simi Valley is a quiet suburban community and wants to keep it that way: No lights, no cameras, no porn studios.
Not that adult-film producers are flocking over the hill from the porn-rich San Fernando Valley, but the fear is that they might. Angered by a recent L.A. requirement for on-set condom use, producers have made noises about leaving, and officials next door in Simi Valley are trying to thwart an invasion before it gets started.
"The bottom line is we don't want to be known as the porn capital of the world," said Mayor Bob Huber, who is pushing for a local condom measure similar to one the L.A. City Council approved in January.
...
Under its proposed law, the city would require producers to hire on-set medical professionals, who would attest to appropriate condom use. At the end of a shoot, the producers would have to send their unedited video to the Police Department, where employees would scrutinize it — for compliance with Simi Valley Municipal Code Title 5, Chapter 32, as amended.
Civilian employees, not officers, would do the heavy lifting, scanning films for possible violations.
...
Running afoul of the law would bring a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail. However, some council members at a meeting last month expressed doubt that many judges would incarcerate producers for condom violations.
"Five years and a million-dollar fine would get their attention," said Councilwoman Barbra Williamson. "I'm sorry we can't do that, but I wish we could."

They choose to be filmed having sex for a living, they should forgo any rights that they should have such as the right for the guy fucking her to wear a condom for safety. Same goes with prostitutes. They don't deserve any rights at all, both jobs are for whores, and the bitches who choose to undertake such jobs should be aware of the risks involved such as HIV etc.
