      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.

        Can I call the police on them for taking an active filming device into a public restroom?

        Even if it’s not illegal, surely some shit can he stirred. I think twice after having to wait for an officer to show up, being embarrassed, regardless of how the events turn out,

          Sounds good. Bonus points for getting it in the media.

      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.
