This is an interesting one. I wonder what penalty the journo will receive.

A CURRENT Affair reporter Ben Fordham and his producer expect to be charged over a hidden camera investigation they say headed off a murder.
Fordham posed as an accomplice to an alleged hitman who was approached by a Sydney man to kill another man.
The ACA report said the man wanted to kill the target because he was blackmailing a friend of his.
The story, which relied heavily on the use of hidden cameras and microphones, aired on ACA last year.
On ACA on Wednesday night, Fordham said he and producer Andrew Byrne expected to be charged by NSW Police at their office.
Ben Fordham is quite a well known face on Australian TV these days. Was he wearing a disguise when he posed as a hit mans accomplice, or do these crims watch so little TV that they'd never seen him on the screen?
