Anyone heard or seen the films from Stolen Car Films?

That is quite funny, thinking, that you walk in just about ANY porn shop in manhattan, and you got scat videos available. And in many places beastiality. In store, you see wall of beastiality items, walk out, and you got police officer standing right in next corner minding his own business (traffic).
These are not some dirty caves, but regular public stores. Visited one place few times that was selling lots of kid nudist dvd's. European imports for high prices, which are not "porn" by any means, but when sold IN porn shop, certainly change their spirit, hah... Couple years later went to that same place and those shelves were emptied and staff said they don't touch that stuff anymore. I guess some limits are there, but scat and beasts... would seem absurd to hunt and prosecute one mailorder guy, if there is pretty much public industry operating.
I like that the Stolen Car Films guy claims to be a "shock artist". Looks like it was a complicated case:
(from wikipedia)
In 2008 Isaacs was brought to trial in Los Angeles, California on federal obscenity charges for videos featuring scatology and bestiality. At issue were three obscene films sold between May 2004 and October 2006: Gang Bang Horse "Pony Sex Game," Mako's First Time Scat, Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7, and BAE 20 (also titled Avantgarde Extreme).[5] The prosecution alleged that the films are obscene, and have no artistic merit. Isaacs claimed the films have both artistic and political value.
The USDOJ Obscenity Prosecution Task Force initiated prosecution on this case.[6][7] The Bush administration formed the task force to investigate pornography at the urging of social conservative groups.[8] Jury selection began Monday, June 9, 2008.[9] On June 11, it was discovered that the judge presiding over the case, Alex Kozinski, had posted controversial material to his own website,[10] prompting the suspension of the case.[11] Kozinski declared a mistrial on June 13.[12]
[edit] Double jeopardy motion
The Department of Justice filed to retry Isaacs on the same charges which prompted Isaacs to file a motion on double jeopardy. Isaac's motion was heard on September 8, 2008. Isaacs lost that hearing in the lower court and appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. On December 22, 2009 the 9th Circuit decided against the artist's bid for his double jeopardy motion. On June 28, 2010 the Supreme Court of the United States denied hearing Isaacs' double jeopardy motion.
[edit] Further charges, retrial and conviction
Isaacs' second trial was initially set to be heard beginning May 17, 2011 but was delayed when prosecutors added further charges.[13] The new indictment included three more charges relating to the sale and shipment of Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7, as well as charges regarding four new videos, Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 38, Trailers, Japanese Doggie 3 Way, and Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 10.[14] In June Isaacs' attorneys filed a motion to strike evidence suggesting Isaacs' provided controlled substances to the actresses in his films to compel them to perform.[15] The case was presented to a jury in March 2012.[2] A mistrial was declared on March 6, 2012 after jurors deadlocked on the charges. According to Isaacs, jurors voted 10-2 against him.[16] The third trial in April 2012 resulted in convictions on all five federal counts of selling and distributing obscene material.[2] Isaacs was sentenced to four years in prison in January 2013.[17]"
I vaguely recognize the HOLLYWOOD SCAT AMATEURS title.
In the US, each state/city has their own obscenity laws so what's sold in NYC, isn't legal in New Jersey & some cities have no porn shops. There's a law here that basically says that no business can sell sexually oriented material within so many feet of a school/church/etc.
