Is it a union film crew? If so, then maybe it's a union requirement?
More likely though, as others have said, it's all for show - even news and documentaries are considered entertainment. Something many people don't realize.
"To Catch a Predator" made for great entertainment, but wasn't much help in regards to reducing true harm to children. Many of the stings had that entrapment feel...
To digress a bit, while the stings were often technically legal, they were sketchy - many of the cases were later thrown out, especially for those who did not talk (some of those people who kept their mouths shut were never even shown on TV, since they weren't entertaining enough). The show was on borrowed time from a liability / PR perspective and the producers knew it - likely amazed it lasted as long it did.
