3. Like any secret recording device, these glasses will be misused and need to be regulated.

You can see someone holding up a cellphone to record your actions, and everyone knows video cameras are everywhere in public spaces these days, but this sort of thing is a clear invasion of privacy. There are already laws prohibiting the recording of private phone calls without permission, secretly bugging someone's home or office, or placing hidden cameras inside restrooms and other private places. I'm afraid these glasses will only be regulated after they're used to record a few corrupt politicians taking bribes, corporate CEOs scheming to defraud customers, or cops shooting people without justification.
