[The Boys] No ski masks, bandanas, Halloween masks?

This is referring to the tv show, not the comic. I actually like the show better than the comic, but the comic doesn’t have this particular problem

Why don’t the Boys try to disguise themselves at least a little? At least pull on a ski mask or whatever when they’re breaking and entering and threatening people.

In the comics, this isn’t an issue because they were a known quantity to their enemies from the start, and they had some protection from the federal government. Also they were somewhat less vulnerable on account of them being superhuman too

 In the show, they expose themselves way too easily by doing all kinds of illegal crap with their faces uncovered. It’s the 21st century, door cameras and mini cameras are pretty ubiquitous. And unlike the comics, there was very little stopping the Seven from squashing them like bugs, so they can’t operate in the open 

I mean, they’d probably have been caught sooner or later, but they could have made it a little harder at least? Were they just careless? Aren’t they supposed to be experience operators? And TV Hughie is a consumer electronics stor employee, he would know how easy it is to get home security/sex tape recording cameras, no?

It's because going in without a mask is less conspicuous. Eye witnesses can rarely agree on what they saw minutes after it happens and recordings while common are hardly irrefutable. Vought has reach and power but it'll still take time to track them down. And at least early on it's implied the CIA is aiding them and Frenchie has been covering their tracks somewhat. They're small annoyances to Vought who already know most of them. Butcher is also on a suicide mission up until certain events. He wants them to know who's coming for them.
