"It is not for journalists, or caterers, to openly flout the law in search of a good story. It is indefensible. If such actions were to be condoned imagine the havoc that would be reaped on our industry as every Tom, Dick and Harry had a go to try and get their name in lights with prosecution immunity"
... and imagine how tight the the security would be as a result of all the security execs trying to prevent the journos having the opportunity to get material for a story in the first place.
I don't condone people trying to get their names in lights, but I'm not sure that this was the aim of their exercise?
