Meta glasses barred from courts in England and Wales
Criminal, civil and family courts in England and Wales will not allow the use of Meta glasses equipped with cameras. Visitors arriving with the glasses will have them confiscated at the entrance and returned when they leave the building.
Meta glasses will not be allowed into criminal, civil and family courts in England and Wales. The Royal Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS), which is responsible for the courts, will take the glasses from people arriving with the devices at the entrance.
An HMCTS spokesperson said there were clear restrictions on recording images or video in courts and judicial institutions. The use of Meta glasses carrying cameras will therefore not be permitted in court buildings.
Devices confiscated at the entrance will be returned to their owners when visitors leave the building. Recording images or video in court buildings without official permission may result in criminal proceedings for contempt of court.
Camera and livestreaming features under scrutiny
Glasses produced by Meta have become a subject of debate in various courts because they can record video while being worn. New York courts also banned the use of the devices last month.
Glasses equipped with cameras can enable people, their surroundings and private spaces to be recorded without permission. The devices can also be used to livestream on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
