Your consent doesn’t matter (legally) in a single-party consent state. Which includes some bigs like New York and Texas. California is a two-party consent state though, so theoretically these people should be informing each other that they are using recording equipment.

And I’m saying that in many states your lack of consent doesn’t matter (legally speaking). Your consent is not required if someone else decides to record with their device.
I don’t like it. Just stating that you declining to consent does nothing if someone else records you and gives the recordings to the police. That’s not a search of you or your possessions, that’s a search of someone else’s recording that did not require your consent to be made.
None of this is new, just increasingly insidious and ubiquitous.
BRB. Building a wearable that sends out an ultrasonic screech to blow out nearby microphones.
Going to call it “Blow Me.”

Also, paper with more detail: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.08490v1
Is there a DIY build somewhere for something like this? From my quick googling I’ve only seen expensive off the shelf products
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
