The irony of all this is that the bar probably has a security camera system that's recording everyone all the time anyway.



And the non-irony is that this security camera system is nothing like google glasses, in the sense that only the bar owners watch (and that's mostly if there's some security issue), it captures only from a certain fixed axis of rotation, and it doesn't get your snapshot on Instagram and Twitter.


Is the CCTV content available from google search? Am I tagged? Are my words recorded? Can that be linked on cross referenced? Can a future employer or pervert see the footage? If I slip up and expose myself, can a google search reveal that too?


It depends on whether or not you annoy Reddit or 4chan. If yes, then yes :)


They also sell drinks and probably don't allow others to sell drinks in there.


So ?

The intent of the camera system is to have evidence if an incident occurs. I doubt the bar owner is going through it at the end of the night looking for which parts of it are interesting enough to post on Facebook.


Why can't I have my own evidence if an "incident occurs" that affects me? It seems like quite a double standard.

BTW, there are already a ton of cell-phone videos taken at that bar and posted to YouTube, so I doubt having a new type of recording device is actually going to make a difference:
