Tbh I don't even mind cameras that much if they were entirely controlled by the individuals themselves. I have a much bigger issue with it when you're streaming my facial recognition data to Evil Megacorp 2™ servers that also feed directly to the "Not Spying.. Again" agency, though.

    What about a camera that is covered by a cap that can only be lifted if they press the mechanical button on the side of the glasses?

    You could still film things like posters to get more information about the event, while not filming everyone all the time.
