Isn't the reason they cover their faces is to protect their identities from the criminal retribution?

Unfortunately, masks also protect them from being identified by innocent citizens who have been abused. Kevin

Maybe times of change since the days of my involvement, but mask were used to protect the "undercover agent" and the "CI" not to protect identites from criminal retribution. At the end of my career we were ordered as UC to stand down. We were used to brief the guys going in, but that was it!
