Does the reporter have any personal vendetta or other
external motivation for doing this operation?
Is this operation going to expose a crime that has alreadyhappened or is it going to induce a crime and then expose it
?
Is it merely going to test the moral fabric of a person? How

looking girl knocking at their doors voluntarily?
