How does having a video record of encounters benefit women? I'm sure you can figure that out. You only have to remind yourself of what catcalling is.

Think a little deeper. It is already possible for women to record these encounters and many do. It is widely known the police do nothing about it and the videos make no difference.

Most videos might not make much of a difference today. However, in the future, perhaps Meta or Alphabet or Apple can offer a service that does facial recognition and provides a pervert/abuser score on who they are looking at via a heads up display on the glasses.

What do you think all these glasshole-women are going to do with bunch of (poor quality, grainy night) videos of some drunk bro on the street telling them "nice rack you have there, sweetheart"? Call FBI so they would give chase on a helicopter immediately?

Please stop using ad hominem attacks, this is not the appropriate forum for such remarks.

> "nice rack you have there, sweetheart"

I assume that would be considered sexual harassment in most jurisdictions, which local police should concern themselves with, especially if it's happening to minors.

I'm at a loss for why you brought up the FBI.

I feel quite strongly about people nonconsensually filming other people in public spaces. The proliferation of guides about disabling the indicators of active camera on smart glasses make me even more hesitant to normalize or condone such behavior.

Stealing an Amazon package from your porch is also illegal in most jurisdictions yet police won't do anything with a video from your Ring doorbell showing some generic young-dude-in-a-baseball-cap-and-a-hoodie taking it away. They are only interested in such videos when investigating (what they consider) serious crimes.

> especially if it's happening to minors

You want minors to wear Meta glasses and film all the time? I shudder imagining growing up in such dystopia.

> I'm at a loss for why you brought up the FBI.

Sorry, that was a snark about how people who support installing smart doorbells and Flock cameras everywhere imagine police would react to a video showing someone stealing a bag from their car or a package from their porch.

I suspect the OP is being somewhat sarcastic because it is widely known that the police will do absolutely nothing about a report of catcalling, video or not.
