    No they don’t. I might actually go film on the sidewalk just outside your home, and there would be nothing at all you can do about it.

      I think the real problem is that you don’t seem to realize/care how gross and rapey you sound. That’s… maybe something to work on.

      Using “nearby glasses” set to 20m to detect the glasses’ Bluetooth signature (plan on making that a module I can attach to the front doorframe), I can easily detect the presence of your meta lenses. Then, you shall have two options after I speak to you. Surrender the glasses, or speak to my personal attorney. Or if I’m not at home, my drone, which will ram into your face to destroy the glasses.

        I don’t appreciate the threat of violence. I won’t surrender my property to you, you will not destroy my property, you will not hurt me without me defending myself, and your attorney will not bend the law for you.

          You really want these glasses, don’t you? You’re smart enough to debate the hypothetical, but miss the obvious point that new things will not be regulated as they should be, so the law doesn’t function as it should in this situation. You cling tightly to the law as if it’s doing what it’s meant to do, when we both know you’d be taking advantage of the lack of laws for no clear benefit.

          Let’s say hypothetically that he assaults you, you sue him, then he raises 200k$ for his defense through crowdfunding because I bet the majority of people don’t want creeps to record them secretly. You’re still confident in your odds?

      This may be perfectly legal but it is absolutely a dick move and people will HATE you for it. The are so many scenarios where perfectly reasonable people will find this behavior extremely unsettling, at best, and possibly threatening.

      And you are incorrect in assuming that “there would be nothing [the subject] can do about it “. In the real world there are plenty of people who will risk an assault charge to deal with someone being a disrespectful dick, and many more who will act if they feel threatened.

      Now, might doesn’t make right, but are you right? Going against social norms and risking extrajudicial retaliation to fight injustice is commendable. But this isn’t sitting at a lunch counter during segregation or protesting at Stonewall. In a world where 1 in 3 women will be stalked in her lifetime ( in the US according to the Justice Department), why is this the hill you want to die upon?
