Can the FBI walk into my local bank and demand to inspect their records because they are pretty sure that somewhere along the line they shorted somesome some money?
The comments about the health inspectors don't reall apply.... That's a proactive law - they are trying to prevent someone from getting sick.
Which brings me to my point. 2257 laws are not "proactive" but instead "reactive". "They" try to tell the public that they are doing someting about child porn with this law, but in truth they aren't stopping it but only looking for proof of it after the fact. It's a total waste of time.

Your thinking is interesting but wrong, because you are making assumptions.
2257 is law similar in nature to environmental protection or workplace safety.

Essentially, we are a regulated industry, with the laws written in such a manner that assumes that pornographers are breaking the law (on model age) unless we can prove we are not. We are required at any time to prove that this is the case.
In fact, it is exactly the same as liquor laws: Police can show up at any time WITHOUT CAUSE and check IDs and ages of the patrons of a bar. It is an age restrictive area, and only maintains it's rights to be in business if the partons are of age. Essentially, they require that all patrons have ID with their age, and in many states, ALL patrons are checked regardless of age.
So I understand where you are trying to go, but you are applying the wrong industry standards.
