Rustee says:

"The Marines we spoke with also make the point that the city allows street demonstrations, anti-war protests and other events which snarl traffic, such as Critical Mass."

Shame.

San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

The tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission.

only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture.   They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=i_team&id=5673526"><P>
At today's Film Commission meeting, she said she wouldn't let the Marines film because of rush hour.

However, the Marines would have just shut down one lane of California Street for a few minutes at a time,  and Captain Corrales points out the Film Commission often approves shoots for rush hour.
