Doesn't surprise me one bit. The film crew should have hired a New Yorker for the location managers job. It would have been quite a jousting match between those two. :evilgrin:

The one thing that those guys fear is a visit from the AG's office threatening prosecution for copyright infringement for the knock-offs they're selling. Most to the copyright owners will pursue them even in civil court if the AG won't. I would have just hired actors to perform as undercover POs. I actually did this to a merchant in the Harwin district of Houston one time (not actors but friends). Every business in the place shut down for an entire Saturday afternoon rather than have undercover agents inside taking pics. They lost a hell of a lot of business. All I had to do was buy the beer all night at the local.
