Hidden Camera Investigations

[James Boston]

I was just watching a Dateline NBC hidden camera special on guys who solicit minors over the internet. They would pose as a minor and invite the guy to meet them for whatever, and then they filmed the meeting getting busted. That's not really the point. How can they legally air that? Surely these guys aren't giving consent. There was a teacher, a rabbi, a doctor, etc... Why would they allow themselves to be outed as a pederast on national television? Or, is there some loophole that allows Dateline to use the footage whether these guys approve or not?
