So there's been this recent trend among interviewees in news where they have no problem TALKING to the the reporters, but they really don't want their face shown. Now - I can understand if they fear retaliation , like when talking about a neighbor suspected in a murder or gang crime, but when talking about a fire? Or car accident? Come on people!
There is a lack of credibility among people who have something to say, but don't want acknowledged as being the person who said it. Stand behind your words! Perhaps if neighbors were more willing to take a stand and face whatever comes their way due to their statement we wouldn't have some of the neighborhood issues we have. I'm willing to bet these same people who refuse to show their face on camera are among the same group of people who witness a crime, but refuse to call police and report it.
If you don't want to be on the news, then don't talk to reporters! Today we literally had 5 people in the 5pm-6:30pm newscast who were talking shadows and were supered as "Voice of: Concerned Neighbor". Come out of the shadows and talk to reporters if you really want to put your 2 cents in. Otherwise stay home.
