I may have witnessed a number of absurd human behavior in recent days in public areas; what are the legalities of wearing body cameras? Are there any body cameras you would recommend that would not attract attention?

Not thinking about a body cam but I recently added a dash to all my vehicles. Some of the driving stunts I see now a days encouraged that decision.
I do like the gun camera idea,,,, a lot!

Don't know on how noticeable these would be but cheapest and easiest setup would be a an action camera ie GoPro, Dji Osmo Action, or others, on a chest mount of some sorts

Axis cameras generally-speaking.

I have seen way too many bizarre behavior recently in Costco, Public Transportations, and Public Spaces.

I have a budget of $150 max, but I did come across the Ray Ban Metaglasses which does not seem to have continuous recording :(

I was thinking about this,

Body cameras are going to be very obvious. Only some hidden camera eg in glasses if well done will be un-noticeable. Question is why you want to record people? If it's random strangers, you'll only get yourself dragged into prosecutions as a witness if you get involved. If there's an issue closer to home, then maybe more reason.

Good point, people's behaviors are highly questionable nowadays especially in big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, LA, and DC.

I thought about the Metaglasses by Ray Ban, but they don't offer continuous recording.

Any other suggestions for a not so obvious body camera? Thanks :)
 
This one is on sale and is pretty cheap @ $70 USD ...can't attest to it, though.
