California proposal to require porn actors to submit fingerprints ignites firestorm

“This criminalizes us, that’s absolutely what it does,” said Alana Evans, president of the Adult Performers Actors Guild.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

"Under the proposal, AB 2389, adult performers would have to pay for and complete training every two years on safety, human trafficking and workplace rights, and provide fingerprints to go through a background check to get a license. It would also create a governor-appointed advisory committee, with half of the membership coming from the adult industry. "

Will the board review all porn videos made? I mean, how hard can it be????

I'm a licensed Porn Actor, what's your job?

I have a real fucking job, what's your super power?

What is the purpose of background checks for exotic dancers? To ensure pole dancing of the highest moral character?

It’s likely to be struck down anyway on 1st Amendment grounds. Porn is protected speech, just not obscenity. Yes, there is a difference and I know it when I see it.

It sure is a money grab and they will do background checks because those sex workers don’t pay taxes. The background checks are to dig into tax records.

Also I’m sure porn is protected under the first amendment but many jobs require background checks, licenses, or government oversight so I do t see that being thrown out under the first.
I’m not saying I’m for government oversight but I dont see this getting thrown out under that premise. Especially because they license our gun rights.

2nd amendment protection? Since when does the constitution stop government from taxing rights? We address it everyday on here.

On a serious note though, this proposal is indefensible.

These people get paid to fuck everything that moves for a living, and for some reason people like it and can't get enough.

And those people are going after the porn industry.

Again.

So, if the background check comes back showing you're a sex offender, can you still work in porn? Sounds like a government provided certification of excellence to me.
