In January, the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism unit sent out a memo warning police officers about a new potential “security and counterintelligence” threat: Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
The memo directed officers to “conduct thorough inspections of all eyewear permitted within inmate cells” and cautioned that people who have been arrested could use these glasses, equipped with small cameras and microphones, to record inside police facilities. The memo cited two examples of such videos posted on social media.
“The ability to covertly record inside a law enforcement or detention facility, could result in a security risk if proprietary information about cell layouts, camera placements, or officer patrol/site protection routines are released,” the memo read.

what a load of absolute shit. the devices could open them up to the legal consequences of their illegal actions and abuse.
shame meta is focused on equipping the perverts and creeps instead of the blind and exposing corruption and abuse.
Any inmate leaving the facility could describe all of that without glasses.
Whaddayoumean ‘leaving the facility’?
think about all the heinous shit cameras have captured in the last 50 years. now imagine all the heinous shit that has gone unpunished because it wasn’t documented for a moment.
Which would you rather have in a prison experience - your own pov documented, or the word of a bunch of cops/guards?
and no-one would believe them because they are a criminal without any evidence.
