Let's say that you work for the government and accidentally read top secret documents with your Google Glass on and accidentally upload the recording to Youtube. Would it be a good excuse? And of course other people's privacy is much more important than those documents that are boring and uninteresting to 99% of people.

So of course the use of cameras should be regulated.

I can’t accidentally read top secret because it is secured much better than public places. I can’t disclose it by mistake. Its guards don’t expose it when they want to protest. People privacy can’t be more important than government documents, because protecting each citizen is much more complex/pricy task than protecting those documents. Disclosing those documents is a problem for all citizens. Disclosing citizen privacy is a problem for him. You can’t restrict good willing citizen rights because of bad guys.
