2257 is supposedly for knocking out child porn, Quashe. But 'real child porn' I guess. As in where the children ARE being sexually molested in the photos or are posing in sexual suggestive ways.
The idea was to have another charge to throw at someone. It came up because a man was taking photos of himself and a seventeen year old girl who TOLD him she was 18 at the time. They couldn't convict him because he wasn't knowingly molesting her.
With 2257 they can say he had an obligation to obtain government issued ID's before photographing her sexually.
That is why some people in law enforcement think we are all a bunch of idiots here at GFY for getting so flustered over 2257. The intent of the law isn't for TGP owners or legit companies, it is for going after child molesters and child porn producers.
