Did CBC really ask such a dumb question? FFS Yes.

    No. They should ban smart glasses everywhere.

  • No fucking way.

    They should be banned in all public spaces.

    A camera is a camera, doesn’t matter what it’s attached to, you’re legally expected a level of privacy in those areas.

    Do we allow people to make phone videos in pools and change rooms?

    Cameras of any kind are banned in change rooms. Like, not all of them literally post that, but I think it's implied.

    Nobody wants these shit glasses apart from a few creeps.

    I don't know, they seem like they could be handy. All the screen real estate you could want or imagine, with a phone level of portability.

    The covert recording problem is huge, though.

    Is this really even a question? Can't show up to a pool and creep with a big obvious camera, but making the camera more hidden might make it okay? Seems we need updated enforcement not new rules.

    Though it feels like we should be pushing for a Federal criminal law as opposed to a patchwork of Municipal bylaws.

    This is a way bigger issue than trans people in bathrooms

    Yes. No discussion about it. I don't live in Canada anymore, but public pools here have never let you bring anything like that with you


    like cameras or phones.

    I would suggest that all the pools agree on this or they'll end up putting a "speedo" rule in place to prevent people from sneaking in recording devices.

    Don't most gyms already ban filming?

    IMO making it a municipal thing just opens the doors for them to abuse the legal system. Better to keep this at the store policy level and support the businesses with good policies.

    If your local pool doesn't have rules contact their administration. Much, MUCH, lower bar with more immediate and permanent results.

    The problem is that being filmed by someone wearing glasses who may or may not have tampered with the already way too small indicator light is much less obvious than someone pointing a phone or camera at you.
