When i watch AFV and Cops, Brand name labels are covered.Mcdonalds labels, Coke The dates on the tape are censored. Why?
Why is someones face and voice covered, what happens if we did?

Dates are blurred to keep you from seeing how old the tape is. Faces are blurred because unless people have signed a release, you can't show identifiable pictures and label them as criminals (and may not be yet.) Brands to avoid free advertising and tying them to criminal activity. Curse words for the kiddies - although court says now the FCC can't fine for f--k and s--t because our Pres and VP used them in public.

This is all about a legal thing. If they censor that stuff there is no cause for a lawsuit.
