Ban recording using smart glasses without the knowledge of people being recorded

Petition Details

It is fairly easy to see when someone is recording with a smartphone given how they hold it. I don't think this is the case with smart glasses. This is sometimes only made evident by a light on the glasses, which cannot always be seen, and not all smart glasses have.

Additional Information

Whilst recording and sharing of personal data by smart glasses is covered by the Data Protection Act 2018, I think that new legislation should be introduced which specifically relates to preventing misuse of smart glasses, to prevent people from recording others without their knowledge.
