3) They have been convicted of nothing, and given the stance of local law enforcement they won't be convicted of anything. Under those circumstances, only a complete fool would have publicly revealed their identities.
I wonder if this would still be the case, if they tried to press charges when they are on video lifting stolen property. Does one outweigh the other?
Ex turpi causa non oritur actio (Latin "from a dishonorable cause an action does not arise") is a legal doctrine which states that a plaintiff will be unable to pursue legal remedy if it arises in connection with his own illegal act
And if the police can't be bothered to follow up on video showing these crimes in action, maybe a "Do You Recognize This Porch Pirate?" campaign could have an effect. They are just so brazen, knowing (or they should know) that they are being filmed!
If the police won't help, posting pictures/video on Nextdoor or facebook might.
I think you are referring to the "Clean hands" doctrine.

To prevent being sued. From my understanding you can't used someones face without permission and even if they are criminals he's not the law.
I saw this video and loved it. I seriously wish dude would build and market them for sale.
Look up Casey Neistat on Youtube. He youtubes in NYC and doesn't ask the permission of the people in the background for his MONETIZED youtube videos. Shouldn't he request permission from everyone in the background?
Also, the people trespassed in his property so he don't need their permission as they are own HIS property. He should be able to show the faces of the perps as they walk to his door and steal his property. By showing their faces someone could recognize and call the cops on them.

He should work with a local news station to generate more police assistance. This would be pretty embarrasing for a police unit.
Cars are mobile yes but eventually a person needs to go home and sleep. Also, a car might pass a section in which they are video cameras that could taken the license plate down.
There is a video in which a car went into a parking lost.. boom i would imagine that the parking lot has video cameras.. right??
I also wonder why all those people didn't break the box...
LOL = At the end of the video, Rober said a VPN company sponsored the production.
Make sure that you put a fake name and address on the label, so the box can't be tracked back to you. (It's unlikely that a porch pirate is going to take the time to read the label.) Perhaps the name of the mayor and the address of the local police station would work.
Or put the address of the white house if you want it to be investigated.
The best thing I've read in response to these porch pirates, was using boxes disguised as packages to stuff all your unwanted garbage in them, so it's like a free giveaway of stuff you no longer want or use.
