I think the plan at this point if you catch some asshole wearing smart glasses. You walk up to the biggest dude around and tell him that the guy is recording his kids or wife with his glasses being creepy.

I don’t own any smart glasses, but people’s hatred of them is weird. Every time you leave your house or apartment you’re being recorded by people’s doorbell cams, security cams, anyone holding a phone vertical could be filming you, and you can’t tell. And that’s not even getting into the actual hidden cameras that are so cheap and easily accessible these days. You wanna get worked up about some guy with a camera in his goofy looking glasses?
