I don't really understand how making them offline only makes them any less dangerous? The issue is that the camera is discrete enough that people wont notice theyre being recorded, not that the glasses can connect to the internet.

    So to you, the glasses are irrelevant. You just hate hidden cameras... Like police and various misbehaving corporations all over the world.

    I wouldn't say that police cameras are hidden, I assume you are referring to bodyworn cams? And I really don't know who are the misbehaving corpos you speak of. Not saying they don't exist, just that is super vague. Do you mean cctv for security? Because I dont know if i would call those hidden either?

    Police get caught committing crimes via hidden (or non-hidden, LOL) cameras all the time.

    The same is true for corporations (and plain old abusive bosses).

    Where I live, a company was caught making plans for illegal dumping (toxic waste) thanks to a hidden camera worn by a whistleblower.

    The most recent news about hidden cameras catching corporate misbehavior are mostly related to meat processing plants. In Texas, I believe they passed an unconstitutional law a few years ago banning people from recording (in public) near factory farms and meat processing plants.

    All this illegal/evil behavior was foiled thanks to hidden cameras.

    This is why I firmly believe in "one party" laws. Look that up if you don't know what it means.
