In January, the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism unit sent out a memo warning police officers about a new potential “security and counterintelligence” threat: Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

The memo directed officers to “conduct thorough inspections of all eyewear permitted within inmate cells” and cautioned that people who have been arrested could use these glasses, equipped with small cameras and microphones, to record inside police facilities. The memo cited two examples of such videos posted on social media.

“The ability to covertly record inside a law enforcement or detention facility, could result in a security risk if proprietary information about cell layouts, camera placements, or officer patrol/site protection routines are released,” the memo read.

That must be so stressful for them. Poor babies.

    Calling it now.

    The first prosecution that involves pervert glasses will originate from someone who catches ICE beating and/or r***** someone to death and leaking it.

    Dammit, now I'm mildly tempted to get a pair just to record ICE agents without them realizing, and either changing their behavior or chasing me down to halt the recording.
    But then again, they probably need a Facebook account to even function.
