Speaking as someone currently living in the US, around here you have zero right to privacy in public places, or places that can be seen from public places. Like, to a fucked up level. I could stand at the bottom of your driveway recording through your bedroom window, and it would be legal.

Now, do I think that is good? No. In my opinion it’s taken things to an extreme.

But I also don’t think I should have the power to run over to a tourist and demand they delete their photo because I happened to be in the background.

Is there a middle ground? Absolutely. But that middle ground is where I think the majority of smart glasses users will fall when they hit critical mass.

It’s already illegal to do… illegal things. Why are we making them “doubly illegal” in the hopes that somehow the bad guys are going to listen this time? This isn’t like guns where we are talking about regulating every camera, it’s like banning a desert eagle and calling it a job well done.

Edit: Last sentence is weird but I can’t think of how to reword it this late at night, I hope it makes some sense at least.
