![Post Post](templates/standard/images/icon_minipost.gif) Posted: 09:56 - 28 Jun 2023 Post subject: The obligations of journalists |
![](images/spacer.gif) |

Just a quick one.
If journalists/Panorama etc. come across people committing crimes are they obligated to tell the police and hand over evidence or can they hide behind 'confidentiality' clauses? I ask because reading the linked below article on getting driving licences illegally the writer who has identified a person who has benefited from this says...
The BBC also tracked down a woman who paid for a fraudulent service. She had found someone via a Facebook post to take the practical test for her son who had been struggling to pass. The mother paid the fraudster about £1,000 after he had passed the test on her son's behalf. If the woman's son is ever caught he would have his licence revoked and face prosecution for fraud, potentially resulting in a prison sentence and/or a fine.
Which to me indicates the BBC have no intention of passing his identity to the police even though he is driving illegally and could possibly injure himself and others.
I just wondered if any laws or rules exist for this situation?

the driving licenses article you posted that I read this morning threw up the same flags in my mind.
Wouldnt want to share the road in my car, or bike, with someone that cannot pass a test (not hasnt passed...cannot, due to abilities etc).
It also asks questions about why "we" pay £££ for lessons when this "easy/cheap path" exists.
A level playing field is not one theyve described. And the journalist driving home that night after the interview must be pondering their life choices should they decide to keep this info secret.
pretty disgusting, however there are parts of this country now rife with schemes and scams that decidedly did not exist in the recent past. ____________________ Gone: Yamaha DT50lc, Suzuki DR500, Suzuki A100, Kawasaki z250ltd, RD350YPVS, Suzuki DR Big, Kawasaki AR125, Kawasaki KMX200, Suzuki GS1000S, Katana 1100, GS550M, Suzuki RGV250

Well, this case certainly falls into that bracket as Easy says above. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
