    the only 3 usecases for these are:

    Assholes

    Perverts

    Blind people - sucks for them, because the first two are going to ruin it before it benefits anyone with disabilities

      Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one

      Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess

        so I’ve given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they’re going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.

        also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That’s been banned, but probably only because they’re making their own.

          Oh look, they’d know and I’ll be honest, I saw someone else post that on here in another thread, liked their point and I’ve given it no thought other than looking like an observer, not recording. And, I’ll add, I’m not in the US so I don’t have local knowledge.

          I’d support their use case for it though.
