All Party Notification for In-Person Conversation (wearable eyeglass recording devices)

LA Smart Glasses Recording Law

Communications · Artificial intelligence

Requires anyone using smart glasses to video and record or transcribe a direct in-person conversation to specifically notify all participants first. The law responds to covert smart-glasses filming posted to social media, and exempts public meetings, law enforcement and first responders, recordings of officials and police in public, evidence preservation, and recordings made in the recorder's own home, workplace, or vehicle. It does not change the one-party consent rule of the Electronic Surveillance Act. It became law without the Governor's signature.
