For some reason, Scripps owned KGTV in San Diego likes to do stories on crooks and perverts, but always blurs their faces. 

Back in March, FTVLive told you about a SoCal bike shop that was robbed. The shop an excellent video of the suspect taking the bikes, but KGTV made sure to blur the suspect's face out. 

How the hell does this help the public, when you blur the bad guy out? 

This week, the station did the same thing with a peeping tom. Security video shows the suspect peeking into this resident's window on a number of different occasions. The station showed the videos, but each time  they blurred out his face.

So the fact that maybe some viewer might know who this peeping tom is and call the police isn't going to happen, because the station conceals his identity. 

If you are going to do this, why even report the story in the first place?

Shaking my head....

They're afraid to get sued if the suspect turns out to be innocent.
