How can VICE film “behind the scenes” with criminals?

Question

I just watched a channel called VICE on YouTube where they follow people that make meth and show their lab. I see that VICE have many videos like this where they follow criminals.

Of course the criminals are masked but they still do interviews with them. How can VICE and others who film this stuff not have to report that they know this?

There wouldn’t be much point in having a law that said journalists must report criminals to the police or go to prison themselves. Criminals and journalists would stop talking to each other.
