Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.

even my own idea here still doesn't go far enough, but there need to be criminal penalties for disabling such a feature that are at least as severe as illegally concealing a firearm

frankly I don't think these should even be legal to manufacture, sell, or possess, but I have zero hopes that that level of regulation will ever happen
