This sort of thing does make me worry that society as a whole will get paranoid of people that wear glasses out of suspicion that they might be smart glasses that are secretly recording them or such. A court room can probably have something set up to check them, but I mean more just out in the world

We don't need to relieve the pol pot regime. 😞

That's a legitimate concern. Regular glasses wearers already deal with enough assumptions. The tech needs clear physical indicators — like a recording LED that can't be software-disabled. Though I doubt any manufacturer will voluntarily add that.

I have a crappy LED on a cordless screwdriver. Took 2 minutes with a paint pen to cover it up.

That's a big part of why Google Glass didn't take off. They were dubbed glassholes. Lot of discussion about the etiquette of them that never went anywhere
