I thought it was a good idea to record every interaction with the police without them knowing that you did so. Are we now saying that wearing a hidden camera in public is bad?
The US police doesn’t even care if people are overtly filming them killing people without cause, they still get away with it.
How would a “hidden” camera change this?
Also, it is fairly easy to see the camera lenses on smart glasses, they could easily find a way to knock the glasses off your face and step on them to look like a plausible accident.
You take them to court, the police department pays, best case, the police is transferred to another district.
It is far better to have a dashcam with a fisheye lens in your car, it is easily overlooked and and has a large FOV, while also picking up sound.

Not true. They hate it.
they still get away with it.
The individual police officer might, but filming them is for your protection from a wrongful conviction and to secure damages should they break the law during the arrest.

This sounds far more contrived than knocking a phone out of your hand.

A few hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money to most people. Maybe not to you though.

Sure, but when you are a pedestrian, this isn’t an option.
I don’t use them, but if I lived in a country where the police habitually abuse innocent citizens and get away with it, I would carry a camera on my person 24/7.
Baseless insinuation in an ineffective attempt to smear, not withstanding.
Good.

I see your point and agree but this part is not that clear cut.
Cameras help, they just aren’t 100% effective against all cops, and against all types of abuse.
But the guy you’re replying to did miss the whole…whole-whole. He crazy.

Are you just upset you can use it to secretly record women?

If its hooked up to meta, yes. Everyone isn’t the police.
And how do you know when you are going to get harassed by the police?
Are you white? Are you rich? If the answer to either of those is “no”, that’s how you know.
So white poor people should invest in these kind of glasses is what you are saying? Cool.
