Good.
I thought it was a good idea to record every interaction with the police without them knowing that you did so. Are we now saying that wearing a hidden camera in public is bad?
The US police doesn’t even care if people are overtly filming them killing people without cause, they still get away with it.
How would a “hidden” camera change this?
Also, it is fairly easy to see the camera lenses on smart glasses, they could easily find a way to knock the glasses off your face and step on them to look like a plausible accident.
You take them to court, the police department pays, best case, the police is transferred to another district.
It is far better to have a dashcam with a fisheye lens in your car, it is easily overlooked and and has a large FOV, while also picking up sound.

I see your point and agree but this part is not that clear cut.
Cameras help, they just aren’t 100% effective against all cops, and against all types of abuse.
But the guy you’re replying to did miss the whole…whole-whole. He crazy.
Go fuck yourself.

Not true. They hate it.
they still get away with it.
The individual police officer might, but filming them is for your protection from a wrongful conviction and to secure damages should they break the law during the arrest.

This sounds far more contrived than knocking a phone out of your hand.

A few hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money to most people. Maybe not to you though.

Sure, but when you are a pedestrian, this isn’t an option.
Are you just upset you can’t use it to secretly record women?
I don’t use them, but if I lived in a country where the police habitually abuse innocent citizens and get away with it, I would carry a camera on my person 24/7.
Baseless insinuation in an ineffective attempt to smear, not withstanding.
If its hooked up to meta, yes. Everyone isn’t the police.
Thank fucking god.
Wearing those should allow anybody to punch your face without law-based repercussions
Can we just recycle “glasshole”?
I was living in NYC when Google Glass first premiered. Within three or four days, almost every restaurant, every shop, and certainly every bar and club had a sign that said “Google glass forbidden! Anyone wearing Google glass will be banned for life!“
I didn’t see many people wearing them, but when I did, it wouldn’t be long before I saw some random person just punch the fuck out of that person, or grab the headset off of the person’s face and just stomp it, and then just start screaming at the person who was wearing them until they ran away, while everyone nearby cheered them on.
And every time, I felt that they deserved that— because they did.
With all of these secret spyware sunglasses that Meta is pushing out today? I fully expected people being beat to death with baseball bats, or being shot in the face with guns. I’m actually quite glad that people are learning their lessons now before they are just being fucking murdered in the streets. But if that’s what it takes for people to stop wearing these sunglasses, not spy on people in record them without their permission, then so be it.
Listen up, you entitled assholes. You wear these stupid spyglasses in public, and you deserve every shred of bodily harm and violence that you get coming to you. And if it takes every single person who puts them on their face being torn apart in the streets and dying horrific death until a long gets past banning them forever, then please please please make that happen. People need to learn that their personal entitlement will cost them their lives if it steps hard enough on others that the others fight back. And we others? We need to learn how to fight back hard enough to make them stop.
I’ll take “things that never happened” for 300, Alex.
Why? I’ve seen someone with smart glasses get punched in the face about it, and I don’t even live in fancy New York.
Lol, things happen to people. Get over it.
(Although TBH, I would really love to have a wearable computer that was fully open source and local. Unfortunately, big tech going full Orwell has ruined the idea permanently.)
I think I would rather have AR glasses then glasses w/ a camera.
Yeah more I think about it the more I can get behind that.
How would AR ever work without a camera? One implies the other?
Ever seen a jet fighters HUD?
A HUD and AR are something different tho.
A HUD is just a display you can look at while keeping your focus on something else. My car has that, it has no relation to the outside world, it’s just a display.
With AR the information presented is placed within the world around you. Using a camera and motion tracking, it can place stuff in relation to real stuff around you. Think Pokemon-Go.
I have it and 99.9% of the time I’m just listening to music. I only record video or take a photo of things I would have normally taken with a phone like candid photos of my kids out something interesting I want to research later.
Some of us use the glasses as intended.
Don’t make some it seem like all of us are creepy. The mass majority are not.
The problem is you don’t decide when your camera is running, Meta does. Even if you’re not doing the creepy shit that other people are doing, it’s still somewhat invasive to everyone you look at.
Your ignorance of the root problem does you no favours.
The world at large does not want to be part of Meta’s privacy invading dataset. By wearing them and pointing that camera around, you are forcing that on everyone around you. Meta are using that camera and sucking up data at all times.
This is before we even get to the problems you allude to being accused of.
