Uh, why the fuck would such a device ever be allowed on school property?

    These devices are expensive.

    Teenage girls - If you spot them... Grab them and smash them.

    And don't be afraid to smash the face that wears them. Collateral damage, after all, is always expected.

    If I see someone wearing these get bashed in the face, no I didn't.

    Well… my daughter is authorized by her parents to use as much violence as she deems appropriate to anyone who would harass her.
    But we all know that would get her expelled from the school for 1… or 3… or every day(s).

    If you add to that from the comments above that kids with perv-glasses are from rich families, probably contributing significantly to whatever charity in the school, they may not get the justice they deserve.

    So smash the glasses, ok. Make a show, and be sure everyone hears loud and clear "fucking pervert". Reputation can't be bought back easily.

    As much as I haye the existence of these devices, independent of context bit especially for what this thread is about, I think that isn't a good idea. I do not trust that the girls have backing and are safe by doing this, any kid who has something this expensive will have parents that have power enough to really fuck with the lives of any girl who'd do this.
    I wish this wasn't the case, but waves widely at the world proves otherwise.

    What parent would buy their middle schooler pervert glasses?

    Some schools in New Zealand put the camera in the bathroom themselves.

    Showing may age here 🤣 but back in 2005, I had a film camera shaped like a juice box that I thought was the coolest thing on the planet. The straw was how you took pictures, the lens was hidden in the logo.

    There was no film in it because I just wanted to show it off but yeah..... School didn't give a fuck.

    Then again I'm autistic and I was super into the spy stuff. I think that came with one of those spy kits and I annoyed the shit out of my family with those beeping door sensors and I genuinely concerned someone by eating the edible paper. I made one of my sisters friends scream at the top of her lungs because she had no idea who I was when I wore the sunglasses with mirrors to see behind you and a fake mustache and I was into disguises.

    But there's a difference between being a kid and having fun and things inadvertently happening vs being a menace and a dickhead to those around you.

    Phones, cameras, watches with cameras, GoPros are all all ready allowed, why would this be any different? Some schools even have equipment to rent to make videos, or their news program has some, yearbook group, etc.

    Those are far more obvious when one is filming compared to glasses that can secretly film someone at any time.

    Unlike the security cameras that already do you mean… yeah?

    A school is a public place, there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy.

    I am fucking sick and tired of this absolute garbage argument.

    "No expectation of privacy" does not mean publicizing any video for any purpose is OK. It does not mean stalking is OK. It does not mean a goddamned panopticon is OK!

    What's happening now -- with every act potentially stored in perpetuity, psycho-analyzed, and fed into generative AI for the purpose of deepfaking or who knows what else -- is in a wholly different category that goes beyond "public!"

    Using a camera as part of a group project is very different from secretly filming people throughout the school day when they're supposed to be doing other things.

    Surely you can tell the difference...
