If I had my iPhone out pointed at the screen, then yeah it would be justified to haul me away lol.
They are PRESCRIPTION GLASSES, tell me how he is expected to not have them pointed at the screen?
Also being kicked out of a movie theatre and being detained are two entirely different things.
Movie theaters are privately owned. They don't have to do anything of that sort.
If they want continued negative publicity, then fine.
Otherwise they are going to have to adapt, and will. It's all about customer service. No one wants to go where they'll be continually harassed.
As if you'd be saying this when you're dragged out for bringing your smartphone. It has a camera.
Yes, smartphones have cameras, but they're not as discreet as Google Glass. If you try to record with your smartphone you're likely to be caught. With Google Glass who's to know whether or not its recording?
They should be banned in all public places in my opinion. It's like having a spy camera essentially.
Nope - there was no reason to suspect him at all, let alone spend hours interrogating checking the glasses when it should have taken minutes to absolve him of any wrongdoing.
When I lived there I saw lots of overreactions.
