I don't get it..

Ok, so on tv they can show people smoking pot (illegal), street racing (illegal), etc..

But none of them get into any trouble. Even if the person's name is released and a lot more information. Why is that? They broke a law, does it have to do with freedom of press or something else? if so, what?

iv never understood it, and would like to know

Yeah, someone on here must know a lawyer or something..

They probably do get in trouble behind the scenes, or it may be in the contract

Nope. They don't get in trouble at all. They can have people on MTV doing illegal street racing and they never get in trouble. It's weird...

it's because they can say it's staged it's easy

"it wasn't pot, it was just hemp"

"the streets were closed off no one was racing illegaly"

That is a good idea, but what about when it's clearly real?

for example?
