I would object if the guy at the next table over pulled out a camera and started snapping pictures while my wife and I are eating. I would feel violated. Same here. In other HN discussions about expectations of privacy while in public with regards, say, license plate scanning or facial recognition there always seems to be at least one or two people claiming there is no reasonable expectation or right to privacy when out in public. I tend to disagree with them but often they make a plausible argument. Having a remote camera record the passing of your car feels less in-your-face invasive, and I wonder if that allows more people to let it slide. Perhaps the more overt creepiness of Glass will lead to more stringent privacy laws that (hopefully) are then equally applicable to the more stealthy forms of surveillance and recording. At the every least, if I can't come into your place of business with a ubiquitous recording device then your place of business cannot subject me to ubiquitous recording either. I'm less optimistic about similar restrains against data capture under the guise of "security."
