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.

I agree with everything else you've said in this thread, but if someone is getting upskirt recordings of you with their glasses ... Hopefully you'd notice.

Someone holding a pair of glasses in their hand, just casually letting them dangle below waist-height, does not seem that immediately suspicious to me

How's that different from any other hidden mini camera, though?
