Have 4 lights Make their light flash and blink like a reversing dump truck everytime the camera is active, even if it isn't clicking a picture or recording a video.

    That doesn't sound bad, but usually when you have a device you can modify it to remove any signals visible from the outside

    Yes but it's meta, do you think they'll give you repair rights? You'll have to go aftermarket and take risks, which most people are not willing to do.

    Don't get me wrong I would be much happier with a ban outright. But it does have good usecases. Charity my wife volunteers at, there is a blind lady that uses meta glasses to essentially read a lot of stuff like labels off of food packaging sings in front of the buildings etc etc. She could do it with her phone, but she is genuinely much happier with the glasses. Her alone is the reason I don't want to ban them outright. Maybe ban them for sighted people? I don't know.
