Filming persons without their consent is not only BS, it’s illegal and punished with high fines, more if it goes online, even Google in it’s Street View is forced to blur faces and carplates for this reason.

Ok, but security and traffic cams are not the same, they are restricted to certain areas, eg shops, ATM, etc., there it must be possible to identify the person. They are visible to everyone and avoidable because it, Smartglasses are not, same as you could’t use a hidden cam to cast everyone in the street or use a drone to film people in their houses through the window.

Hell, you can’t even fly a consumer drone in Germany (or I assume the whole EU). Not because drones themselves are illegal (they aren’t), but because you must implicitly film people and property without their consent in order to operate the drone.
