Bluetooth detection active

Yea, I'd love to get a fine for listening to music while I shit.

You can search specifically for smart glasses, e.g. the aptly named Nearby Glasses

Also, you likely can't fine them, but you can make them think about it.

Bluetooth devices have MAC addresses which can help tell Meta glasses apart from other BT devices.

Apparently in this case it's a bit more complicated and you have to rely on https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/assigned-numbers/ to identify glassholes.
