(www.wearable-computing-conference.com)
global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, "How
Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet,
Healthcare and Fashion".
New
York City, NY, USA (January 17, 2014) -- As reported by NBC,
Cecilia Abadie, the Southern California woman cited for wearing
Internet-connected eyeglasses while driving, was found not guilty; a
San Diego traffic court commissioner found there was not enough
evidence presented to prove the device was activated at the time of
the traffic stop.
"When
I contacted her she was wearing a device on her face known as Google
Glass," CHP Officer Keith Odle testified. "It was covering
half of her right eye." Officer Odle and a representative from
the CHP Academy in Sacramento testified on what they considered the
safety concerns of the device - including the ability for the user to
receive in-frame video chats - but San Diego Commissioner John Blair
ruled they did not present enough evidence that Abadie was actually
using the device when she was stopped. Abadie maintains she was
simply wearing the device, which she does all the time, apparently.
She said that the Glass activated when she looked up at the officer
as he approached her vehicle.
Blair
found Abadie not guilty, but he added that he felt the new device
does fall under California Vehicle Code 27602. That particular
section, according to CHP, states that it's against the law in
California for a motorist to drive a car if a television monitor,
screen or similar video monitors are turned on and visible to the
driver.
