Do people on the shows on TRUtv have to sign release forms?

Question

On shows like cops, speeders, etc. where people are caught doing illegal activities do they have to sign a release form for their "story" to be shown? I'm thinking if they are arrested they may lose their rights, but what about like the stupid repo show they have on there? They repo idiots are doing illegal stuff and filming themselves doing it...why don't the people press charges instead?

Answer 1

If their face is shown, they signed a release.
