The problem with the light is, it's incredibly small and dim, so is very easy to miss. Plus, people aren't aware of what to look for yet because they're not used to being around this "perv-vision".

I saw a guy at a sandwich shop with them and he was loud and bragging about them which was the only reason I knew he had them.

I'm honestly shocked they're allowed in Illinois being there's the "all party consent" law still in effect where any audio surveillance or recording needs to make all parties aware they're being recorded. Then add in the BIPA (biometric information privacy act) where you KNOW Meta is going to use face ID or facial recognition to tag or show the owner who's who.

    If camera glasses would be banned under all party consent then every last camera and microphone would be banned.

    All party consent may only apply in private, too. A sandwich shop doesn't count.

    It's the audio recording that matters. In Illinois, you can have cameras, no problem, but no audio UNLESS you post signage up about having audio video surveillance. This way even in public you're "notified" about audio being used.

    In a sandwich shop, I might speak at a low enough volume a camera mic wouldn't pick me up. With no one around me to hear, the expectation is whomever I'm speaking to would be private, while in public, and they're not recording the convo either.

    I'm sure news orgs don't have to disclose that every time they interview someone in the streets.
