The one moving the goal post is the eff. There is no expectation of privacy in public spaces.

It is legal and moral for me to take a video of someone in public. If I can do it with a phone I can do it with glasses.

A shop having a camera pointed outside is not breaking the law, even if it's hidden from view.

There has never been a requirement for devices to indicate anything to those they are recording. It at most a curtsy.

As always, scale matters, as does the purpose of the surveillance and the affiliation of the surveilling party. This comment of mine from last month (and the document linked in the footnote) will be good reading for you. [0] Also keep in mind that private entities can be legally considered to be agents of the State... depending on how they and the State are conducting themselves.
