just got arrested for going up to a police officer while wearing meta glasses and saying "computer, transfer $100,000 from this officer's bank account into my account" and then waving my hands like a magician

Filming police (and all govt employees) in the performance of their duty is always legal.

You are misinformed. The government has the authority to restrict recording in non-public areas of government buildings.
If you don't believe me then go ahead and try to walk in to your local police department and ask them where the interrogation rooms and prisoner cells are because you plan on filming investigators and guards performing their jobs. Better yet, walk into a juvenile court room and proclaim to the judge that you are there to film them doing their job because it is always legal for the public to do so.
Let us know how that turns out for you.

"Let us know how that turns out for you."

Being illegal and even getting convicted never stopped the maga sleuth James O'Keefe and Veritas from illegally reconsidering government facilities.

Also a little piece of black electrical tape will fix that blinking red light.

Also a clever liberal sleuth will just put the camera into something else. Like a button or a watch etc.

And just think.. Lex Luthor is planning on his having his neural chip be able to record what you see.

That's when the REAL fun begins.

Oh dear! It's the Church Lady! See where your mind went? Right to the porn.

FYI
Almost every communication-oriented technology ever invented has been used for sexual purposes.

Regardless there is something wrong with this picture when it's ok for your government record you when pursuing a case against you but not OK for you to record your government when pursuing a case against them.

Perv? For mentioning a possible workaround? That's already been considered by the pervs at META?

Takes one to know one I guess. I don't even own any of those perv glasses. Yet.

And I bet his "bricking" can ( or soon will be) be defeated or disabled by an AI Agent.

Tech against tech. Moves and counter moves. The Singularity cannot be stopped.

And so it goes..

Yes. It's true.

I'd like nothing more than for all you hateful maga maroons to just "go away".

But I also realize that's not just gonna happen. Fortunately (for the world) I cannot just wish you idiots into the corn field.

America voted for the Great FAFO and America has to vote to put a stop to it.

It's up to Americans to decide whether accountability is coming or even if it's even worth the effort.
