He may be a troll, but he's expressing a sentiment that seems to be widespread in San Francisco; how many people to date have been assaulted for wearing Google Glass? At least a handful by my count, and I'm not even vaguely wired into what's happening there. ADDED: And none to my knowledge involving a parent's children.
I don't think a lot of people realize the potential consequences of such beloved direct action.
ADDED: see down thread, you were right, and I didn't recognize it.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoI get it; we defend our children unconditionally. Plus, its hard to tell WHAT's going on behind those glasses; an invasion of privacy is a pretty good bet. But there's no having a discussion about such things, especially not by text message. It just spirals out of control.
- hga 13y agoWell, some parents do, even when they should stop ("my son would never kill...."). I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about proportionality. You do you kids no good if you get yourself killed or imprisoned, with a record as a violent felon that will follow you for the rest of your life, for at best "an invasion of privacy" in a context were you presumably have no expectation of that.

You need consent for everything in my country. At any time you can withdraw previous consent. There is no point linking to a wikipedia for the USA when its a completely different legal structure. Edit: Guardia Civil . Not police.
- hga 13y agoIn an article about an all too common crime in San Francisco, which seems to be motivated by pressured internal to that city, not mentioning that you live in an entirely different legal regime (Napoleonic Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code vs. English common law) was a grave omission. In such a regime, with very different consent laws, we'd also expect different uses and probably even versions of Google Glass. And JoeAltmaier was right; I presumed good faith and ended up feeding a troll. Which in this subthread I will end with this message.
- Soytheyshould 13y agoI dont know why people are downvoting me stating a fact. you have to remeber that in spain we value our privacy very much. Silicon Valley is a long way from Barcelona. Sure we are a tech hub but we are also more grounded and realistic.
