Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
I agree with your premise, but only if it’s stored locally and not sent to a corporation, who is likely going to share videos that help to convict other people of crimes but not allow access to video that shows cops doing something wrong.
But also, there should be a legal requirement to have a light visible when recording. If you’re found violating this, it should at least be a sizable criminal offense.
It should have to light up when recording. Like, at a hardware level.
Surveillance at critical points like arrests seems important in order to have basic accountability. Surveillance all the time if you know it or not is more of a slippery slope.
I support smart glasses. Not from meta or Google or whatever the fuck.
The more cameras we point at cops and people in power, the better.
The moment an open-source privacy focused set of frames exist, I’m buying it.

Cop sees the recording light on your glasses. Cop slaps the glasses off your face.

Now I envision cops just straight up jacking people’s Rx glasses under suspicion of being recorded, like they do with phones already.

Have a light that beams out from beside the sensor through the same lense, no way to cover it without blocking the camera
Have a visible dot shutter that closes when it’s not recording,
Require you to touch the temple on the frame the whole time it’s recording.
There are ways
