    Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one

    Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess

      so I’ve given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they’re going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.

      also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That’s been banned, but probably only because they’re making their own.

          perhaps? actually sounds like a project aaaand a privacy nightmare, unfettering these devices from whatever protections for the public meta engages in…

          I’m all about surveilling ICE and law enforcement but… I don’t see these devices as an alternative at the end of the day.
