Traffic 2 was produced after the original film was banned by Kirklees Council, UK.
During production, the film was stored on a hard drive which was carried around on a daily basis to prevent it being removed. The director's address was often frequented by people without permission. On one occasion, after the home was left unattended for several hours, documents had been searched through, photographs were found on the floor and human excrement had been left on bathing towels in the bathroom. There was no signs of forced entry.
