there are open source android apps that tell you when a meta rayban is nearby (using the phone's ability to scan nearby bluetooth devices) which isn't really good enough but it's something i guess

if you're a woman and the creep is a man, there's always the option of pepper spray i guess, though then you will have to justify yourself somehow. i don't think predominantly male chud cops will accept the reasoning of "i feel unsafe" from women, even if it's true and valid.
as for impractical ideas, you can always carry around a 5W laser pointer and then try and fry the camera. of course does not work irl.
