California governor vetoes bill to regulate secret recording with smart glasses
California\'s plan to separately regulate covert filming using smart glasses and other wearables has been blocked after Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Senate Bill 1130. The bill would have banned recording audio or video with wearable devices without explicit consent in workplaces or places where people reasonably expect privacy. Newsom said the rules were overly broad and could create confusion, adding that existing law already punishes illegal filming and secret recording.
