Therefore, 2257 would not have done a thing to “protect” Traci. Most producers and directors would have looked at that driver license and passport (if a second ID were requested, unlikely even today) and said she was OK to work. In fact, this same federal government was going to prosecute all of the producers and directors of the movies that Traci was in until one of them produced proof that she had a US Government-Issue passport stating that she was of legal age and had used her looks-legal drivers license to get it!

Law in this country has simply gotten too fuckin’ complicated.

But get this: without a peep, the 2257 regulations are a fundamental reversal of the concept of “innocent until proven guilty.” Instead, you are guilty until proven innocent in ever-increasing “dot every i, cross every t” manner of bureaucratic nightmare.
