this also assumes the entire public is aware of what that little light means, if they can even see it in sunny situations. oh, a light! ok, why didn’t you say so, i by all means now consent to endless public recording from human mounted cameras /s
Actually I think the public would generally understand this. Older demographics know what a camera indicator is, and for younger ones, a little light on sunglasses would get their attention.
Universally? No. But I’d wager the percentage is high enough for a crowd to know.
In some countries, they’ve made it illegal to turn off the shutter sound on your camera, so that women can hear the sound when some pervert is trying to take upskirts.
Putting a recording light on the glasses does basically the same thing, by alerting those around them. It wouldn’t be hard to disable it, though.
This is that part that’s missing, it’s more obvious when someone is holding their phone to record you. Phone’s should probably have an indicator too…

It should play a loud klaxon with the phrase “I am recording surreptitiously” overlayed on it.
LOL. Yeah, that’ll work.
phones should absolutely indicate and in a way that can’t be taped over.
It’s generally more obvious when someone holds up a phone, but yeah.
