Video cameras with recording devices at an incall?

[LazurusLong]

Over the years back on ASPD, there were all sorts of reports about providers who would have things going on like one provider had her SO in the closet watching (I have a friend who saw a girl in the last year or so and the girls GIRLFRIEND was watching from the closet to make sure she stayed to certain things!).

At studios in the past, there have been cameras and video equipment (Once Anna sold OES the camera equipment information came out). And both VIP and Studio 1 had cameras and recording devices. The owner of VIP Sweets had remote access to the cameras and would keep track of the number of clients coming in and how long they stayed so that she could make sure the ladies working there did not try to short her on the house fees! (She told me that personally, that is not a rumor)

Hell, go search for the DO article titled "Blue Balled" where the only reason the owner of Acapulco Spa got out of his citations was because he had a DVD of the cops having sexual relations with the employees! YIKES, don't think the DPD wanted that video played in front of a jury!

Today video cameras and recording equipment is cheap as hell and can be installed just about anywhere.

2 questions:

1) If you were to find out that clients were being recorded at an incall without their permission, would you want to know and

2) What repercussions should be looked at if this were being done by "verified providers" or their agents?

I would like to know:

1) if I could help edit the footage
2) if I could mess around with the lighting a bit.
3) if I could get a personal copy

It seems like it would only impact guys that were famous or in politics. I guess the provider, or anyone getting their hands on the video, could blackmail those hobbyists with families to lose. How much money would they really get out of that? Probably not enough to be worth it.

Blackmail is against the law also.

I think its a kinky idea...I love watching myself on film!

Just not without the clients knowledge that he is on film, that's just flat out wrong.

The type of girl/pimp who would try this may not be the most logical person, i.e. think about things like risk vs reward.

In addition to blackmail, it could also be sold as amateur porn, I think. Not sure what would make that prohibitive, especially without your knowledge.

Yes, I would like to know, although I doubt there could be board-sanctioned repercussions because of the unlikelihood that it could be proven.

I would think that if anyone was to use video in order to "blackmail" someone then it would be a one time occurence because "hopefully" the person being blackmailed would report this on this board and everyone else would know to avoid that provider or spa. This would not help the initial person that is blackmailed but we all recognize a certain level of risk when we hobby.
