    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
