    You absolutely can. There is no expectation of privacy in any public place except restrooms.

    American standards are third world standards, in civilized countries you cannot just record people, it’s only generally true if you are in a public street, where there absolutely are situations that are protected by privacy such as accidents. Also if you sit in your car or in a restaurant, those are private situations. Glasses that continuously register what you are looking at, are therefore most likely illegal in such situations.

        UK also isn’t in the EU, and lack of protection of privacy was a serious problem when they were.

      Sure, but let’s be real, the vast majority of people who would buy these would be American.

      Also, the same privacy laws apply to the UK and I believe Canada and Australia. That’s a pretty large population, not just Americans. Sure the EU is well known for having much better privacy laws (much better laws in general IMO), but by no means are they the majority.
