New York to ban smart glasses from all courthouses

https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2026/07/new-york-to-ban-smart-glasses-from-all-courthouses.html

Beginning on July 20, all eyewear or headwear that contains cameras, microphones or other recording technology will not be allowed inside any Unified Court System facilities, according to a memo from the Office of Court Administration.

The ban applies to more than 1,240 state, county, city, town and village courts.

Prescription glasses with recording capabilities will also not be allowed, the memo said.

The ban is to prevent people from secretly recording court proceedings in violation of state law and court regulations, the memo stated.
