“Even in its most basic form—no fancy infrared add-ons—Google Glass would make the ultimate cop-monitoring tool: the ‘stock’ models are capable of streaming video and audio to a Google Hangout, which means a supervisor could sit in front of a monitor and watch several officers’ streams in real time. It’s also open to modification, meaning that a third-party developer could build apps for facial recognition, sound triangulation, or crime-scene navigation (the facial-recognition part is already in development). And for a couple hundred dollars, it’s also affordable to most police departments, especially those with budgets fattened by civil forfeiture.”
