Great use of tech and knowledge. Video-recording glasses wearers can't complain about this because they are sending the Bluetooth signals to be detected.
We need to scale this idea up - apps to detect the known types of signals emitting from camera systems like Flock, Ring, and other similar mass surveillance garbage.
There are a few BLE Radar/Scanner Apps Like this. https://f-droid.org/packages/f.cking.software
You just need to know the Mac address range of the manufacturer and can get notified if body cams, smart glasses or anything else using Bluetooth is in the vicinity
Not legal but if you have a phone or dongle capable of packet injection you could probably deauth Ring devices automatically as soon as you are close enough to pick up their MAC address.
I assume they still record locally so unless you plan on stealing it it'll just be a minor annoyance.
Laws are different in different places, but I've never read that a deauth attack is illegal, as long as (and this part is important) you don't try to hijack the packets being sent [or inject your own packets].
[Edit]
Damn. I want an ap that when it detects these glasses, makes them play a loud/ high pitched noise that makes them uncomfortable to wear and users take them off.
Create a custom notification sound for this app.
