Its not illegal to be in the presence of, record, or display a recording of someone committing a crime.
The police are not required to arrest someone who has committed a crime, and the DA is not required to prosecute them. It isn’t worth anyone’s time to arrest or prosecute someone who was seen possessing a trivial amount of drugs on TV show dedicated to helping them.
