Bill Seeks to Have Photo Processors Sound Child Porn Alarm
 
Raleigh — A bill filed in the state House of Representatives offers a new approach to catching sex offenders.

Its sponsors want to require all photo shops to report child pornography images to authorities.

The bill is titled simply: "The duty to report child porn."
Legislators say its focus is to protect children.

"We're obviously after the people who abuse children," said Rep. Karen Ray, R-Iredell County and one of the sponsors.

The legislation would make it state law for any photo-finisher to report to the authorities any images of child pornography they discover in a customer’s order.

"The processors, the technicians, are the ones who may get information on such activity prior to anyone else," Ray said.

But they'll make $7.25 an hour now that the minimum wage bill has passed the Senate :)

Seriously, I have mixed feelings on the issue. While I think that photo techs should report things like child abuse, rape and other crimes on film I don't think laws are needed to do that. Trying to install some sense of morals and a little education could go a long way.

With Mr. Hamaty mentioned in the article. I don't blame the photo tech for that one. I do blame the police for keeping the guy for 6 months. How long does it take to call a Lebanese friend and find out that it's a tradition to kiss a baby boy's penis?

Aside from the preposterous notion that generally speaking a minimum wage earning 1Hr Photo shop employee has the proper training to judge the content of a photo as being legal or not; it is laughable to imagine that child pornographers or any other felonious shutter bug would use a common photo lab to develop their chromes. And hello Ms. Ray, this is 2007. The majority of your constituents above the age of ten are carrying cell phones with digital cameras in them. Does this twit actually believe that her bill is going to snare any actual criminals?

This is nothing but pre-election fodder to "demonstrate" that she is "protecting our children". It's a waste of legislative resources and a waste of tax payer money to even submit this bill for consideration.

Ah well, I'm sure we'll see more of this ilk coming down the media pike now that all the candidates are gearing up for ClusterFuck 2008. :lol:
