This is rather disconnected from the established facts of the case.

I'll just point out the most obvious one that is totally indisputable: about the same time Trayvon might have started the suggested process that would include calling 911, Zimmerman called the police on their non-emergency number (NEN) and got them dispatched to the location.

My main point would be that each party involved in the situation would be more careful on how they react. How would Zimmerman approach Martin if a police officer was standing there? The Google Glass would be evidence as if an officer or court room was standing there at that moment.

If you were even vaguely familiar with the case and/or fair minded---after all, the jury validated to some degree the following---you would know that according to Zimmerman he never "approached" Martin in any sense of the word that I'm familiar with.

Let's put it this way: you're implicitly asking to know the truth of the incident; I suggest you don't ask unless you're willing to face the truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

The investigating officer testified at the trial that when he lied to Zimmerman and told him a video had been found of the entire incident, he looked relieved and said "Thank God." Assuming that someone with a documented history of fighting like Martin would want the truth to be available for the authorities is ... a bit further than I'm willing to go, and there fails your concept ... well, unless you put the pair of glasses on Zimmerman.

I'll bet you more than a few Neighborhood Watch types are going to start using Google glasses when they become generally available.

There are a number of court cases that find one way, but the public disagree.

We should not need glasses style propaganda to persuade the public, we should be happy with the jury, but you can see how it'd be handy? When we have someone saying they did something, and a video showing that they did do that it would go some way to stopping people knee-jerking.

Having more information would be useful regardless of which side of the debate you are on. Knowing that video evidence will be available can also act as a deterrent. The point is technology might help prevent some tragedy's from occurring.
