It's always been a suspension if disbelief thing that the turtles could have big rooftop battles or find a secluded part of Manhattan to fight and stuff and people not see them. It would still be a suspension of disbelief thing if they set it in the present.
As long as they don't overdo it and make it something blatant that people sit up and say "c'mon they are fighting in the middle of Times Square and it's not going to be picked up by police/news media etc" it'd be okay.
In fact their secrecy could even be part of a movie. Think at the end of the movie you have a post credit scene with police looking at various CCTV footage of the turtles and wondering what the heck they are when a shadowy figure surrounded by black ops guys come behind them and says he'll take all files and evidence to do with the four creatures. When they ask who is he is we see a face with dark glasses being pulled down "you may call me Bishop".
Boom you've got a sequel set up and an explanation of how the turtles can keep their big public battles secret.
