For recording in cells, the glasses would be caught by the regular scanners used at various security boundaries including upon entry to custody, at least every time I've been detained. Is that not normal in the US?

I mean, critical support to Meta I guess. They finally figured out a real use case for their glasses. Albeit a very limited one because there's already hidden cameras people can wear on their body, all of which are easily detectable when they search you before chucking you into a cell.

That’s why they’re worried about them??…. That’s a huge ass obvious red flag if we’ve ever seen one

Oh, no. That's terrible. Nobody should ever be recording the police........ It might catch them breaking a law or two /s

“The ability to covertly record inside a law enforcement or detention facility, could result in a security risk if proprietary information about cell layouts, camera placements, or officer patrol/site protection routines are released,” the memo read.

what a load of absolute shit. the devices could open them up to the legal consequences of their illegal actions and abuse.

shame meta is focused on equipping the perverts and creeps instead of the blind and exposing corruption and abuse.

One of the few things they’d be good for

Remember when body cams were meant to protect the police from accused wrongdoing?

Now anytime a body cam is not worn or activated it means the cops are planning to or are actively engaging in hurting someone.

Oh no, that would be going tooo Farr...

Dead ass I wish the worse for many in power.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

META being used for good? IDK, sounds far fetched...

Boo hoo, go cry about it, ACAB

But I thought the surveillance state was good for us? Why, do the police have something to hide?

Huh, finally a use for Meta smart glasses I can get behind.

That story reads exactly how I would draft a Meta PR campaign to diffuse opposition to those surveillance glasses.

Police have things to hide??

/s

I've said it before, but if these things weren't hooked up to a corporate cloud they would be great for sousveillance of the police and other authorities.

There're some out there from other manufacturers that have open source firmware, unfortunately they aren't cheap.

proprietary information about cell layouts, camera placements, or officer patrol/site protection routines are released

All semi-valid concerns. Is anybody else smothering from the overwhelming mass of concerns between-the-lines here?

Don’t worry, The Zuck will just add a feature to automatically blur cops and ICE agents

"secretly". They aren't exactly subtle.

This comment section should be ... interesting

There are other hidden recording devices maybe they already check for all those.

OMG, I LOL'd no cap
