Absolutely. How many hobbiests do you think will provide with me their phone number or a reference, if they know they are incriminating themselves?
Not to mention that hobbiests won't report exploitation or human trafficking. I truly believe that 99% of clients give a damn about us and that if one of you were to show up for an appointment, only to find an underage/exploited/forced situation, that you would not proceed with the appointment and notify police.
How many hobbiests will report if they could be criminalized?
Hobbiests are not our enemy. They are KEY to stopping exploitation, underage workers, and human trafficking. Who knows more about what's going on than hobbiests? If we want to stop exploitation/underage/human trafficking, we need to work WITH hobbiests and not demonize and alienate them.
