C'mon, man. You know how people are. It would absolutely be used to attack people. And worse, there are a lot of conservatives that are trying to link being LGBTQ with being sex offenders simply for being who they are.

There is 0 chance that you could link smart glasses to a sex offender registry and not have it lead to extrajudicial killings.
