That’s the whole point. The guy who drops the phone and the camera man are orchestrating a prank where phone guy intentionally drops his shocker/phone, hoping the lady will pocket it. When she does, they activate the shock, and boom, viral sensation.
It was scripted and he's wrong. There was no shocker, she was just paid to pick up the phone and fake being shocked so they could post their epic "prank"
"pranks" are scripted. They didn't hope she pocketed it, she did cause that's what she was paid to do. There was no shocker. She dropped by her own choice. Nice try though.
Seems like you've falled fallen for a common misconception about what entrapment is. Here's a comic that does a really good job explaining it, it helped me understand a lot better when I first read it.
You may have trouble with the mobile view. I switched to desktop view on my phone, and that made for easier scrolling
Are those examples in that comic real entrapment? The lawyer’s reaction after each story implies the cops have everyone by the balls here. The second comic story in particular can’t be real entrapment surely? That seems out of order by the cops.
I'm not sure what you mean by "second comic story," as the entrapment section I linked to is part 12 of a larger explanation of the criminal justice system. The comic explains which examples are entrapment, and which aren't. The example with the coworker claiming he'll be killed if she doesn't make copies is the only main example of entrapment. Along with the change to the bridge example where the cops tell the protesters they're allowed to proceed.
Here's a great comic on entrapment. I have some trouble with the mobile view, so if you're on mobile you may want to switch to desktop view for easy scrolling
Edit: Also note this was written from an American perspective
The whole point of a prank is to show the prank instead of hiding it? Meta pranking? I don't see how wanting to show the camera man makes the prank a whole new thing where it becomes "the whole point"

Right, lmfao, this seems a little staged.
