Video is not legal in public in some countries. In Germany, for example, it is illegal to film people on the street.
If you’re recording a building or something, and there are incidental people, that’s fine, but with these glasses you’re walking around pointing the camera directly at people.
Regardless, even where it’s legal, most people wouldn’t know how to recognize them. They’re not obvious. Which is how people have gotten away with wearing them to film children changing, and the giveaway was that the guy was following and staring at the children, not the glasses. https://www.wcvb.com/article/mark-sullivan-new-charges-boston-common/73790219
Prob shouldn’t be sold in germany then 🤷♂️ here in the USA it’s legal, every business has their own security cameras, as long as the government isint aggregating the video and using the data for mass surveillance I’m fine with it. My buddy has a pair we use to record our flights when we fly our aircraft together, it gets some really good footage honestly in a way that you don’t have to think about where to aim the camera or be something else to distract your focus, very important when flying a plane your hands are usually full. I think some of the interactions recorded with them as well from the first amendment auditors is fucking hilarious too
