If I saw them I would them call the police. Especially if there are kids around. No 4th amendment here and no local police departments that can easily be bought off. The police might not find something incriminating every time.
"Hey everyone, this asshole is wearing smart glasses and recording us all. Question is: are they going to remove them right now, or are we?"

Can someone explain why this isn't actually a solution to an old problem? We used to have issues with various forms of harassment that were not addressed because they relied on unreliable testimony. Now we actually have people creating hard evidence of their actions.
The behaviors described in this article are banned in every school I or my children have ever attended. How difficult would it be for the parents of any of these victims to hire a lawyer to absolutely wipe the floor with these people? Don't these videos basically put the perpetrators heads on silver platters?
Crime usually comes before punishment. Right now the system is working it's way into figuring out how to deal with this new social dynamic. Like you, I think it's pretty straightforward. We won't solve the core reason for the bullying dynamics though. I think humans that adhere to gendered thinking will be behind on that for a good long while yet.
Yeah no shit letting people go around with concealed recording equipment is resulting in problems. Especially in a fucking school!
So the same bullying that always happens is now visible and that's the core problem people see. The glasses, not the bullies wearing them or the bullying recorded. Watch teachers and schools fight the recording, that make evidence fall right into their laps, so they can go back to ignoring bullying in their schools and then act shocked when serious fights, or worse happen.
these boys need their mother's to whoop their asses and their dads to whip them into shape.
"oh boys will be boys"
no. boys will be whatever you let them be, and if you let them be perverted pieces of shit they grow up to be perverted pieces of shit.
And if you physically abuse them, theyll become physically abusive.
Grow up.
more ways than one for an ass whoopin.
ever bailed hay in 100° heat?
ever cleaned a septic tank out?
ever sorted recyclables at the garbage dump?
I would gladly take an ass beating over any of those.
grow up, there's punishments worse than getting beat.
their mother's what?
I guarantee most of these schools protect the bullies and punish the victims. Like if a girl being harassed broke the glasses, she would get expelled. The world is the way it is because people enable and worship bullies across the board.
Schools don't care about bullying or sexual harassment as long as it doesn't look bad on them. If it can be swept under the rug, they will ignore it.
At least that is my experience from schools in the UK.
Same in the US
This. My friend in HS went to guidance multiple times to complain about being bullied by another classmate. After the 2nd or 3rd time requesting thy switch his class, they decided to resolve the issue by forcing them to be partners for an assignment in class. He complained again, and was told to deal with it. One day my friend finally cracked and broke the bully's nose because he had enough and clearly the school was only willing to make this worse, so they called the police on my friend. It's pretty insane how some things get dealt with sometimes.
I wish they called the police when I stood up for myself. It was sexual harassment/assault but I didn't know that at the time, I just knew I didn't like it so used violence. He stopped and ran off bleeding all over the place.
Totally valid self defence from a legal perspective. But they only used the threat of calling the police and I was absolutely terrified so just shut down.
Countless stories like this :(
In a different video, the same boy films another upset girl approaching him with a metal stool in her hands. An adult intervenes before anyone is hurt.
Exactly, they always protect the bullies.
People are being disgusting, using technology that was designed to be stealthy on purpose by others for disgusting reasons (to normalize allowing ever greater data collection by tech companies - no surprise the privacy protections are trivially easy to defeat), and are posting videos online for a reason - that they get satisfaction from it.
I guess I don’t care if this makes me sound old or callous, but we need to bully these people. Make the people who post and share these videos embarrassed. Tell them they look like stupid losers who can’t get dates or talk to people. Make them feel bad for not being kind and socially connecting with others. Give them no community or understanding until they stop breaking the social contract.
the only 3 usecases for these are:
Assholes
Perverts
Blind people - sucks for them, because the first two are going to ruin it before it benefits anyone with disabilities
Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one
Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess
so I've given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they're going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.
also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That's been banned, but probably only because they're making their own.

Oh look, they’d know and I’ll be honest, I saw someone else post that on here in another thread, liked their point and I’ve given it no thought other than looking like an observer, not recording. And, I’ll add, I’m not in the US so I don’t have local knowledge.
I’d support their use case for it though.
