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.
