why do they censor people's date of births on the later episodes?


I remember on the earlier episodes they didn't bleep out their date of births when the police asked for their date of births, on the later episodes they did.

reply

Maybe because of the rise of the internet, as stuff like that is easier to find now?

reply

That could possibly be, something I didn't even think about, I also remember on many of the earlier episodes the suspect's, victims' and witnesses' face were sometimes blurred, that's something you rarely see on the recent episodes.

reply

I heard the reason that many individual's faces were blurred was that many people didn't know the show at the time.

reply

either that or they didn't want their faces shown on TV, I first heard of the show COPS back in late 1992

reply

That's true about not wanting their faces shown on TV.
