People using hidden miniature cameras should be shamed and punished when that is discovered just like the people using these glasses.

All right here's my position:

- filming people without their consent is wrong

- the vast majority of people are not creeps and are not discreetly filming random people

- the vast majority of people are not interesting, and nobody is filming them

- today, in a public space, everybody already has lots or cameras pointing to them (e.g. anyone with a phone), without a way to know if they're being filmed. So this is not a new 'problem'.

- banning smart glasses doesn't make sense if you're not also banning all devices that can film discreetly (so, smartphones)

- 'creeps' use hidden miniature cameras, not glasses with an obvious camera right there on their very face
