After MTV Request, Toms River Changes Filming Ordinance
Township council approves permit process
With no ordinance on the books, Toms River could simply say "no" to requests for commercial filming in residential neighborhoods. A new ordinance passed last night changes that, installing a permit process, after MTV came requesting a show featuring "Snooki" and "J-Woww" here.
Township Administrator Paul Shives said the previous policy didn't keep up with current case law, so Toms River took a look at its policy and drafted an up-to-date ordinance that creates a permit process for those wanting to film in the township for motion pictures, television or other commercial purposes.
"The look at our policy was prompted by MTV's request, yes," Shives said. "Now the ordinance requires requests to be filed for a permit."
Township officials will review the permit and residents can provide input. Shives said the producers will also be forced to pay for traffic safety and police that may be required to facilitate their filming, if a permit is even approved.
MTV prominently filmed multiple seasons of its show "Jersey Shore" in Seaside Heights and some commercial locations in Toms River, but came to request filming at Jenni "JWoww" Farley's Toms River home for a spin-off show. Officials denied the request and the crew headed to Manchester.

Yeah, what we need to worry about is the JS cast. Give me a break. It's irrelevant. We have serious problems here as of late and filming these shows is not one of them. Hardly an issue in my opinion. Also, doesn't appear much has changed except in the future, a permit will be required which I do not forsee being a problem. Money talks... As always, if you don't like it, don't watch it. And btw- it's my feeling that their spinoffs are probably over, however the next group is waiting in the wings I'm sure. Your concern is misdirected I think.

Så du vurderer om å skaffe startet med snowboardkjøring og før du tror du at du vil

Dette er ekstremt klok og er utvilsomt en ting som jeg vil argumentere for alle. Hvis du ikke kan betale for å komme i gang ut så hvorfor sjekke ut? Jeg er imidlertid sikker på at du vil være hyggelig overrasket over å avdekke ut hvilken type kontanter som du er på vei til å ha til å bruke for å komme i gang. Hva ville du sagt hvis jeg kjøpte ningen og i
