Project Veritas and all associates of them deserve to sit in prison. That's the worst possible example you could bring up here.

My point was not to say that their actions were defensible.

My point was that journalists don't just get to say "I'm going undercover" and all of sudden enjoy legal protections, the way an undercover police operation would.

So just because the members of the group claimed that they were conductive investigative journalism does not mean that they can't be criminally prosecuted for their actions.
