All hidden cameras should be illegal, I don’t care about your “hands free convenience”

This is like anti pervert laws 101

Yep. If you want to record everything going on from your POV, strap a GoPro to your head and see if people's moods change about it. If they clearly don't want that, they don't want the "convenient" hidden cameras either. Simple as that.

They don't want people knowing they are being recorded.

A gopro or a phone held up is basically an indicator of recording happening, which people can choose to avoid if they want to.

But pervert glasses don't hold up that signal, and the pathetic attempt to make a signal (the LED) is easily covered or otherwise bypassed so you can creep on people without them ever knowing.
