Do you ask people to take the batteries out of their cellphones? If not, why not?

If not, why not?
- Nursie 13y agoBecause they don't point them at my face, constantly.
- blhack 13y agoThere's a mic, a wide angle lens, and an internet connection. How do you know they're not constantly recording what you say?

- blhack 13y agoYou don't need to point a microphone at somebody's face to record them, nor do you need to point a camera lens at them to record them.
- Nursie 13y agoAnd they may well be doing that, and that would make them assholes. What do you not get about this being subjective and based on cultural and behavioural expectations? Jesus...
- blueskin_ 13y agoIf they hold them up in my face (without a good reason such as me saying/doing something where recording/photos are plausible and expected), I'd ask them to put it away, and probably knock it out of their hand or walk away if they didn't within a reasonable timeframe. I'd do the same for google glasses.
- nknighthb 13y agoIf your response to a camera is violence, the problem lies with you, not the owner of the camera. I dearly hope you actually follow through on your violent threats one day, so that you can spend some time in jail gaining some perspective.
- blueskin_ 13y agoUnfortunately for glassholes, I live somewhere where that would be considered an acceptable response to being filmed without consent.
- nknighthb 13y agoI don't believe there is any first-world nation where such behavior would not be considered criminal, so I can't see that being "unfortunate" for anyone wealthy enough to have Glass in the first place. Enjoy your shithole, I guess?
- Nursie 13y agoCriminal? To knock a camera out of someone's hand if they refuae to stop filming you? Not likely to get much in the way of a prosecution out of that in most of Europe.
