One thing I find weird about this show is all the guys' faces are on camera and none are blurred? Do these guys actually sign a release to let them use their face? Is their a law that once they commit a crime they lose their right to this waiver deal? There was a shot on the show of multiple guys in jail, but only the guy who had been featured on the show earlier was unblurred. These guys can't be stupid enough to sign the waiver and some of them openly worry about their jobs when they find out this is part of a Dateline show.

I've often wondered this.

I love these shows. I think they are doing great stuff for kids who are too retarded for their own good and the predators that take advantage of them. A few minutes of pleasure in exchange for (in many cases) seriously eff'ing up someone for the rest of their life.

Can you believe some of these idiots actually admit to seeing these specials when confronted?

Also, at least in Kansas City, some of the local news stations have seen what great ratings these specials get, and they've began to start their own mini local investigations. I hope every one of these bastards gets exposed for who they are before being locked up for good.

One of the older shows, they busted a dude who worked for Homeland Security.
