Wherever in the world you may live have you seen strangers wearing glasses with cameras in them (for example meta's spy raybans) in public in the past week or so? ("in public" meaning at a store, on the street, on public transit or in a parking lot or at work or school if you work/attend at a large organization.)

The only time I have seen them I also heard a woman say "are those camera glasses, don't film my kid" "they're not on" He muttered. He looked so annoyed and full of contempt. But, no one seemed to take his side. The train just stared at him waiting to see what would happen. The guy took them off. He sighed dramatically. It was very funny. This was on the 4 train almost two months ago.

@futurebird@sauropods.win Although not in the last week, I have seen ICE agents wearing them. Not sure whether they're government issued or it's just that these are the kind of creeps who wear them. We wear body cams at higher risk protests, but outside of that safety-related use, normal or semi-normal people don't wear those.
