Idk. Bans on recording someone in public without their consent, feel like a really difficult thing to properly enforce -- with or without the glasses. The number of people doing it with Smartphones already, in most jurisdictions at least, would make such a law's wide-spread enforcement seem implausible. And I mean, you're in a public area, so you sorta need to expect less privacy.... because it's in public?
Most places have laws on this. Often, it is legal to film/take photos, but not to focus on individuals.
Also makes a difference if you publish those pictures or videos.
