Lol that has nothing to do with the other, and courts have already set precedent for recording in public spaces and have generally ruled that with current laws there's no expectation of privacy in public spaces.

The fact the camera being on someones face is almost assuredly going to be an insignificant factor in any future court case considering the sheer amount of cameras pointing at you as-is from phones (How do you know if someone is just on their phone or recording?) and security cameras and now that businesses are heavily investing in ever more cameras for their AI BS...yea, sorry to say, but nothing is going to change on that front for the foreseeable future.

The fun thing is that with novel cases, the law can change. There's currently no precedent for AI Camera Glasses, and the law(s) I cited were created before anything like this was even a real possibility for the average person.

And re: phones—you can see that's a camera. Also, they have a bright LED that indicates recording. These glasses do not.

I get your cynicism, but we do not yet live in the dystopian plutocracy where companies get to do whatever they want with impunity (just a lot of it). Unless you're a lawyer, I'm not inclined towards your opinion.

Umm when was the last time you....you know what, let's do an experiment, start recording a video on your phone, flip it over and look at the back and tell me where the red recording LED is LOL

Anyways, the other commenter here cited specific cases and a supreme court ruling which tied recording in a public space as a 1st amendment issue (which I didn't know either) so now short of a new federal law passed by congress, it ain't changing. It's not my opinion, it's a fact.

About the time some billionaire/politician/LEO/judge out other influential/affluent person is recorded in a compromising position.
