On the show. The legalities
[QUOTE=Jalex;1144504]The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the drunk Children's Hospital doctor that hit the father / son with his car. His face was blurred. I'd think he would have better legal representation than most of the other subjects featured on the show. Apparently not good enough to keep him off of the show entirely though.[/QUOTE]These videos are taken in public and in cooperation with official police business, so there is no amount of legal rep that is going to keep them from using the footage. Their only obligation is not show any identifying characteristics if a release is not signed. E. G. Face pics, license plate, signs on a car, truck or business.
I have never watched any of these Cincy PD episodes, other than what are in small clips online. But it doesn't seem that they use anyone's name, or at least I haven't heard that when I have viewed the few that I have. Names are hardly any different than the newspaper publishing someone's name from public record, via an arrest report. The paper is only reporting what did happen, not passing any judgment on guilt or innocense; (wink, wink).
BTW, what episode was the arrest of the Childrens Hosp Dr on? Is that clip online, I would like to watch that. For other reasons; curious.
