I think you're saying the problem is that the camera is pointed straight at you, and you're taking this as having the intention to film you. But phone cameras can have a wide angle. You can film people without pointing the phone straight at them. Someone walking around with a phone simply pointed vaguely in your direction could very well be filming you, and you won't know. Plus, CCTVs certainly are filming you, and like I said, I don't see the parent poster complaining about that.

With Glass I feel it's a matter of interpreting their intention. Someone with a camera strapped to their head will naturally be pointing it straight at you if they talk to you, but this isn't necessarily the same as them having the intention to film you.

Plus, you know, there's no law against filming in public. Maybe that's just the goldfish bowl we're all living in now. Maybe Zuckerberg was right and privacy is dead, or at least a luxury most of us can't afford.
