At Lake Mead, unknown people were caught on film destroying some rock formations older than the human species. I will never understand why people do this.

On one hand, it's bad. On the other hand the lake itself was formed by damming up a canyon that ultimately destroyed far more geological and archeological sites, so let's at least keep some perspective.

Why did they even go there if they don't appreciate it. Hopefully they're caught and sentenced to hard labor where they can push rocks all day long.

Reminds me of the goblin vandalism from a few years ago.

The news isn't allowed to show their faces unless they consent, which obviously isn't happening.

At the time of the news report, they haven't been charged, yet. Thus, they can't show their faces without consent.

So how are they supposed to be identified?

I doubt they did much more than the occasional rock slide, but still a dumbass thing to do.

They were already identified, but the news studio has to blur their faces as they haven't been officially charged and would require consent to show their faces.

Are you sure that is true?
Or is at a matter of the New Channel just bitching out?

Any image that is taken in a public space is open game.

They must have given to the images to the authorities.
Have they published it?

Hell, this is a public park.

Thats not completely true. Its why shows like Impractical Jokers have to blur out faces of people who didnt sign a release.

Those are really quite different situations.

One is for entertainment purposes, and profit.

The other has The Freedom of the Press.

They have The Right and frankly The Responsibility to do so.
TBF they don't indicate if the people who did this were ever convicted. But still.
