We now live in a world where Snookiinfluences legislation.
A lawmaker in Ocean County, New Jersey has introduced a bill for a so-called “Snookiville Law” that would give towns where reality shows film more power in regulating the production.
Assemblyman Ronald Dancer believes communities should be allowed to impose certain conditions when TV crews come to town, such as requiring producers to pay for additional law enforcement presence to ensure public safety.
“These shows can attract crowds, which can benefit local businesses and challenge a community’s resources,” explains Dancer. “This bill will permit local officials to make sure taxpayers don’t get ‘Snook’-ered or public safety is compromised when reality stars such as Snooki or JWoww come to town.”
In the specific case of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” which filmed over three years in Seaside Heights, cops were frequently assigned to cover locations where the cast was shooting — and where fights often occurred.
What do you think of the proposed “Snookiville” law?
