TV Reporters: Sweeps ain't worth the pokey

You mean that the media can't do whatever they want, whenever they want? :rolleyes:

However, in every jurisdiction I know of kidnapping requires that criminal intent to kidnap be proven. This arrest was a waste of time. Disorderly conduct or some other public disorder charge? Maybe.
 
We'll see if the charges get dropped, I expect they will and then, hopefully, get replaced with the real criminal charges. I like when they do real undercover reporting. That is to say expose something that is real and illegal, but these entrapment sweeps grabs are stupid and dangerous.
 
whats to stop a real kidnapper from staging a fake article then in case they were caught?
 
GOOD! I am SICK of the media thinking that because they are the "press" that the laws do not apply to them or that they are somehow above the law, or special.

I hope she gets jail time.

True enough, though it is almost certain that her TV editor was in the know about her assignment. This will never see the inside of a courtroom, and the reporter gets her own personal story ;)
 
If this woman wasn't idiot enough to do such a stunt, I hope she got something in writing from her station where they signed off on her doing the story. I see them running and hiding when it comes time to turn to them for all her legal woes.
