Title: Don't wear your Google Glasses to the movies

Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Khaalid Walls told The Columbus Dispatch the man voluntarily answered questions from officers with ICE Homeland Security Investigations.

Homeland security?

Oh and don't wear them driving. And probably don't wear into a casino.  Or a crowded place where people will be offended when you take their photo, or ??? Maybe this was a bad idea because of the prudes who fear technology and photography?

Wait till people start wearing them around Paris, then they'll be in trouble.

Saw the one about the Lady who was caught with them on recently but there is no way to prove they were turned on and case dropped.

This is going to become a common occurrence everywhere.

Thing is if you dont over the glasses to the police they have no evidence of any type and then they have to get a warrant to confiscate them but then then need probable cause which they dont have so they still have no case.

This applies to the texting laws as well.

Fighter pilots and helicopters too, wear a display over one eye. This doesn't cover the eye, it's just up there in the corner. Like rear cameras, radios, mirrors, gauges. Somehow I think people are going into a panic.

As far as texting, I don't even like it when idiots can't drive and talk at the same time. Fine if they can, but if not, just "shut up and drive". I see this time after time on the Interstate, car goes flying past me, slows down, I pass and they are chatting, then they pass again, slow down again. Jezz, that expensive new car and they don't know how to work the cruise control and can't concentrate on the road. Blab, Blab, Blab.

And anyone who says they won't be getting the Google glasses, include me in that club.

If you are in an accident, one of the first things that a bright lawyer will do is subpoena your phone records.

I do not see any reason why, sooner or later, the state would not do the same. Given that the cell tower data, your metadata etc provides a permanent record.

All this info is private and can only be subpoenaed with "probable cause" and just cause you were in an accident that does not give anyone "probable cause" so they can not get your records they are protected.

They already get all of the car info from the on board computers and that is all they need.

They can tell if you were accelerating, braking,turning,wearing a seat belt or not,listening to the radio etc.

I'd be more concerned that DHS and/or ICE were able (and willing!) to go to a movie theatre so quickly for what would amount to a copyright violation. Nice to see where their priorities lay.

A competent lawyer will subpoena the phone records if there is any possibility that a driver was distracted.
