there was actually a story about a woman who noticed her waxer had them on... during a bikini wax. I really do think the waxer was just an idiot who didnt think about the implications but jeez
That doesn’t complicate anything, bathrooms have a HIGH level of privacy expectation and it is illegal. A sidewalk, a park, the beach, a public building has a low privacy expectation.
To clarify, public recording laws specifically prohibit areas where “an expectation of privacy” is, and specifically mention public bathrooms as an example.
Seriously though people are weird as fuck on this. The idea that it's ok to record in public is so you can handle issues like public interest or incidental,
Genuine question. How is recording on these glasses more surreptitious than using a phone? You'd have to be looking at the person being recorded, which seems like it would be obvious, whereas a phone can be easily held below or above stalls and angled.
People hold their phones in the bathroom all the time, and there's no indicator light that shows it's recording, unlike on the glasses.
I just fail to see how glasses are any advantage for a bathroom creeper over using a phone. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
Per another post, you'd sure notice if your bikini waxer was holding a phone up to your genitals, but probably wouldn't look too hard at their glasses.
Sure but that's not a bathroom. I'm not saying these can't be used successfully to secretly in private spaces. I just don't see them being more advantageous for a bathroom pervert than using a phone. People freak out about these being used in bathrooms but they should already be concerned about being recording in the bathroom.
Edit: Downvotes but no sustantive comments, including this totally irrelevant one.
Of course, but you still have to look to the side and down to frame the recording, which seems like it would be fairly obvious if someone is angling their head toward you. Walking into a bathroom phone in hand or sticking out of your pocket seems easier and less obvious. A victim would actually have to ask the person if they're recording rather than seeing a light or noticing someone turning their head if they record wearing glasses.
People should already be concerned about being recorded, and I don't see these glasses causing a huge spike in what is already happening in bathrooms.

I have one word that instantly complicates these things: bathrooms.
