Using them to film others already is illegal by general privacy laws (hasn't been tested in court yet though). This is about making it illegal to wear them.

Why would you want to put the onus of proving something illegal was done on the victims?
Banning pervert glasses solves the problem at the root. Plus it's orders of magnitude more easy to prove someone wore them than proving something illegal was done with them.
MPAA - make perverts afraid again ;)

Because someone is innocent until proven guilty maybe ?

Maybe, but this way you ban them also in situation where they could be usefull.
In a way you are punishing a technology instead of the people making bad use of it.

A shuter sound does nothing now that both cameras and phones with a decent zoom
