Situation : In the past few years, television reporters have started using tiny hidden video cameras to carry out undercover investigations. In many of these investigations, the reporter takes on a false identity. For example, for one story a reporter got a job in the meat department of a grocery store. This reporter then took secret videos of the manager telling employees to put barbecue sauce on old, rotting meat so they could put it on sale again. Another reporter pretended to be a high school student for several weeks to get secret videos of students buying and selling drugs at school. Discussion : • What other types of undercover investigations have you heard of? • Do you think these types of investigations are a good idea? Why or why not? • Do you think that reporters have a right to take secret videos of people who are breaking the law?
