"Upload your ID for every transaction to prove you're not a sex offender".

But that's their whole demographic.

I know it's a hot-take... But how about we (Earth) ban smart glasses.

Too complicated, and requires bureaucracy to work.

Just ban that crap in public spaces.

Just ban them for everyone. Pervert glasses have no legitimate use.

Just ban the sales of pervert glasses, period.

It'll accomplish the same thing, but be a lot easier legally.

Uh oh, Mark's about to lose his glasses.

Good thing they won't be able to buy used.

/S

But then they won't have any customers.

Buying and using, if it should make sense.

With smart glasses, everyone's a sex offender.

Rise up.

A completely unenforceable idea driven by moral panic. We're already seeing plenty of cheap ones on temu, and other more covert types of cameras have been available for years. (Look up pen cameras on Amazon, you'll look at anyone with a pen in their shirt pocket very differently for the rest of your life)

Not to mention there's already open source 3d printed smart glasses. Which means this would no doubt lead to calls for ID checks to buy a 3d printer.

I'd be on board if "Sex offender" only included the people that everyone seems to think it includes. However it also includes people who peed in public while drunk, people who turned to prostitution when they fell on hard times, and children who were victims themselves.

Only thing that will make both sides happy is banning them entirely, which I am 100% in favor of

(Seriously, though, look up what gets classed as a sexual offence in your area. It's not just child molestation, and sexual assault.)

Can't ever be enforced until the largest list of the most depraved sex offenders on the planet can be "permabanned"

I would agree only if the responsibility to not carry smart glasses is on the offender only, so vendors wouldn't have to check their ID, but the perp could be arrested and charged for having them.

Well meaning but I can’t see this working in practise. Just ban them altogether

I would prefer we just assume only sex offenders would want them

My church hosts events each year where we have to run background checks on all the volunteers. Two years ago, a man who passed the background check was caught fondling an at risk person. HOW COULD THIS BE? He wasn't a sex offender!?!?!?! My point is, all these checks and registries only tell us who got caught, not who hasn't.

Why not just ban pervert glasses without a prescription?

a full ban for any and all pervert glasses would be much more useful

Mm mm mm. Nothing says "problem solved" like sticking your head in the sand.

Ridiculous. Just ban them from being sold

I'm curious how they'd do this?
