Not sure what everyone's opinion here is,
but I find it actually difficult to say that banning smart glasses is a good thing.

The plus side keeping smart glasses legalized to buy or sell,
is that if you're the victim and it's recorded, everyone's going to believe you.

Should we stop criminals from making a mistake?

Bad call. Who has the power to delete the evidence? Right, the perpetrators. Also most abuse cases don't even make it to the police, let alone court. If you think someone's invading your privacy by possibly recording you, how easy do you think it is to make a case against them? What if it's not a once-a-year thing, but becomes a common occurrence, like cat calling? Are you going to report every one? Maybe you are not the kind of person that gets victimized, but that wouldn't make it any less of an issue.
