Exactly right Quentin!
I am giving my educated and informed opinion, tainted with a dose of real life experiences and 4 years as an elected prosecutor.
Anyone that tries to push forward the notion that a producer with 2 forms of ID in his 2257 records will be arrested, charged, and imprisoned should be writing scary stories for movies, because that will not happen in real life. Someone can scream at me all day long that "A" means "one" but I guaran-damn-tee that not even the most vile, spiteful, god-fearing, porn-hating, right-wing nut job prosecutor will indict a porn producer and then try convince a jury that there was some sort of a crime committed because the producer had 2 forms of ID in his records.
I just cannot imagine a prosecutor, in front of a jury of people that really do not to be on jury duty, telling them that they need to spend the next 4 days of their lives doing civic duty to determine if 2 forms of ID in records is a federal crime when the law says "A" and "the" ID, which must mean only 1. Juries are usually intelligent creatures, and if they catch a hint that the charges are bogus, they will acquit. Federal prosecutors know this, and they also know that federal judges do not like courtroom time wasted on frivolous crap.
But then some people really need an active fantasy life to make theirs more interesting, and some lawyers want to scare you so badly that you retain them 24 hours a day just to make sure you aren't arrested and thrown into jail for jaywalking across the street at IHOP.
