Mcintyre's big sting

[Steve H]

Currently on C5 if anyones interested.

Just wondering if people think this should be allowed? Obviously the criminals are ****, but do the criminals have to agree to have the film published?

I just think its wrong for some reason

AIUI they were told it was supposed to be for some game show, so they were probably told they had to sign a release in case they appeared on TV.

IIRC the standard sort of release basically says that the TV company can use the footage in any way they want provided it's not defamatory, so the criminals have no legal come back.

Personally I think it's smug and sensationalist BS, but that's another matter entirely.
