I am not a fan of this technology, but as far as I am aware there is not expectation of privacy when in public.
I am filmed constantly without my knowledge when in public in the UK.
It's cultural I guess. In France you have an expectation of privacy in public. Same for Belgium I guess.

I said it joking once but we'll get there at this rate: we need to develop a portable EMP emitter. Carry your devices in a faraday bag and whenever you see someone with suspicious glasses, just shot the EMP and fuck the glasshole and their privacy nightmarish glasses.
