If there's ever a question about exactly what happened or was said at a shoot, we've got it on tape.

I would recommend keeping a copy of all of this in a safety deposit box as well. Once LE comes in with a search warrant those tapes and everything else will be carted off.
This is one way
www.2257Safe.com can really help. Its off site storage of your records that can be accessed by anyone anywhere with a password.
If LE comes in and confiscates all records including 2257 records you will have to fight to get them back. And if you're arrested you will have a harder time than just getting them back.
With a mere password you can give your lawyer access to the records so as to help defend you. Dirty D is in Spain and has no way to getting to his records and he even admitted they are probably already gone.
You can have all the proof you want but once LE takes it, it is out of your control and if something is "lost" the burden remains on you to prove it existed. At least always have back up storage of everything off site and off your servers in case those are also confiscated.
