Of course it's scripted. No way would tv crews follow people doing illegal things, videotape it, air it and not get charged for aiding or some other charge. The ones being videoed are legal. Ever see weed wars? They wear masks to hide faces. That's real dealers!

lol dude your so wrong they are legal in weed wars as well the masks are either because the show wanted that or they didnt want people to know who they are...and you cant get in trouble for documenting something illegal as a journalist either! oh and btw happy 420th post lmao...now aside from that ofcourse those shows are somewhat scripted and edited for drama..i hate that mike guy he thinks hes such a bigshot with his ugly ass hag of a wife...the old guy is legit tho!!

And can you guys really complain when there is a show featuring growers on a national television station? I mean, the more exposure the better...when people are more familiarized or desensitized to the subject, it only helps make it more socially acceptable.
Yeah, discovery channel camera crew is my guess too.

Recording illegal activities and not reporting it is a crime. How do you think people get charged with accessory or accessory after the fact? It's because they know and don't tell.

Totally...I am not down with the former dispensary owner at all...he represents everything I stand against in this industry. That's why BE smith turned him away. Greedy loser in it for the money...that's the kinda person that votes against legalization.

Mike putting the pistol on the table was such a crock! He would've been robbed, beaten and had that pistol taken had he did it to someone that was a serious threat. And walking out to the road for the passing car and hitting the vehicle as it went bye was fucking dumb. I, with road rage, would've stopped just to fuck his little ass up for getting in front of my vehicle or harassing me. He's like the dumbasses we all have encountered on the net but we never seem to see them.

thats simply not true its called the first ammendment and journalists in 40 states are also covered by special shield laws ...here just one thing i could find real quick..
Bartnicki v. Vopper that the First Amendment, in the interest of securing news and thereby fostering a robust and uninhibited debate on public issues, protects the media for publishing information of public concern that they know was obtained unlawfully by a source but where they did not participate in or encourage the illegal interception of the information.

your misconception comes in the fact that these are not average people...yes if you know about something illegal and dont report your an accessory but as a journalist doing your job you are covered from that.....also agree the dispensary owner guy is a chump..he makes us all look bad thinking hes some top shit...he must have money too because that good looking girl of his wouldnt be around otherwise!!

exactly!! a journalist cant get in trouble for doing their job..heres what i think happens with these shows, they approach the police and say hey we have these growers or moonshiners we are following and doing a documentary on and we would like to send a crew with you guys as well to get your side of the story heres how much the department will make if you allow this for new toys and vehicles..so the cops already know these journalists are bound by confidentiality agreements and wont give up their subjects, they figure hey may as well get on tv make some money and get our side of the story out..and that is why it seems so odd because the middlemen or journalists are playing both sides of the fence ...i think the cops love it because it adds a weird joy to be cruising around with people who were just hanging out with the enemy its like they feel like they are close or something idk
