Sounds like you need to talk to your local government officials about having them banned in your area, otherwise you are going to spend a lot of time in jail/prison. Glasses didn't take off when Google did them because the tech wasn't there yet 10 years ago. Meta is launching theirs now, Apple will be launching multiple next year, which means Google may be launching them again depending on the success Apple and Meta see.

As far as laws go in the U.S. It is generally accepted that if you leave your property, you can be recorded. Hence Ring doorbells, cameras in and outside every store, on the street lights, etc. I don't care for it, but privacy (in public) doesn't exist anymore.

That's not true. They didn't take off because they boiled the frog too fast. They were rejected by polite society. That society is gone.
