Charlie Brooker, Black Mirror , Series one episode three, "The Entire History of You" is pretty good television sf version of this kind of thing.
Seconded, all 3 episodes of Black Mirror are excellent stories about an imminent future that I'm not sure we really want to come about (except for the art project ;-).
This actually reminds me of my brief stint at Apple. I went out to the headquarters for a conference right around the time the first iPhone was released. That year all Apple employees were given free iPhones, so of course, everyone at the week long conference were glued to them. I remember very distinctly riding a bus to the campus with my fellow Apple employees and seeing every single solitary face buried in their i…

Naked? In the bathroom? With an expectation of privacy? Yes. Yes I do. Crimes don't exist in a vacuum, there are factors that make the actions cross lines. A man glancing at a women's chest or a woman glancing at a man's rear end is not becoming of a professional, but it's not a crime. Repeated offense and an escalating situation? Then it becomes a crime. Likewise, nudity and expectation of privacy are factors that g…
No, to clarify, I mean just in public on the train or at a concert or a bar or whatever. The sorts of places where "mild" sexual assault of women by unfamiliar men is rather routine-- I'd posit much more common than assault of men by unfamiliar men in public restrooms, though I'm open to correction on that. My underlying question being, at what point does looking put one in enough fear of touching that preemptive esc…
SO, to paraphrase your example: an average woman, who might lack the physical means to feel safe in the presence of someone who might be larger and looking at them in a sexual way, would be justified in feeling threatened.

Heh. Wanna bet? You seem to have a quaint notion of how the justice system works. Video evidence? Probably wont be surpressed by defense. Probably wont be contested because it's obtained as the result of an illegal act. The jury will probably not agree with the defense that the video represented the first stage of an attack by people who film attacks to gain notariety in the Internet. Probably. If you agree to post y…
Would you like my penis length while we're at this? I was interested in a discussion, not credentialing, posturing, and condescension. Why are you after all of the above?

Hey, you're the one offering a legal opinion. I'm willing to bet my experience with the justice system beats yours. For one thing, I've lived in the USA for my entire life. For another, I've lived in several states. For yet another, I've been involved in an altercation that came to the notice of the police. Several in fact. I'm still walking around a free man with nary a scratch on my record. So my experience would s…

The difference is Google is paying a lot of famous people a lot of money to wear Google glasses. That is not the sign of a company making an awesome innovative solution people want and have a use for.

They're paying people to wear glass? Do you have a source for that?
