Scroll says police officials were spotted wearing camera-equipped smartglasses at recent street protests in Delhi. The glasses can look ordinary while recording, making it harder for people nearby to know when they are being filmed.

Why it matters

The report raises questions about privacy and public surveillance, but its supplied description does not establish that officials used the glasses to identify or profile anyone. For people at a protest, should police have to disclose when wearable cameras are recording, or is visible uniformed policing enough notice?
