Ohio man interrogated by Feds for wearing Google Glass in movie theatre

As if you needed another reason not to wear your dumb Google Glass in public—or ever, actually—an Ohio man claims he was yanked out of a movie theater and interrogated by federal agents, who believed he was illegally filming the movie with his face computer.
quote:
The agents also allegedly displayed this level of ridiculousness:
They wanted to know where I got Glass and how did I came by having it. I told them I applied about 1000 times to get in the explorer program, and eventually I was selected, and I got the Glass from Google. I offered to show them receipt and Google Glass website if they would allow me to access any computer with internet. Of course, that was not an option. Then they wanted to know what does Google ask of me in exchange for Glass, how much is Google paying me, who is my boss and why am I recording the movie.
quote:
After an hour of intense interrogation, the agents hooked the Glass up to a computer, and saw that all it was storing were personal family photos, he says. They allegedly went through his phone, too, and found nothing.

Hopefully there was no picture of his dog in there. The dog would be a goner.

UPDATE, 2:53 p.m.: AMC has issued the following comment regarding to the incident to Business Insider:
Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America anytime it’s suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen. While we’re huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre. At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film. The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site. The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content.

FBI : let's stake out this movie theater, just in case someone is recording the movies today.
No way.
After reading previous post, okay, but the FBI? Why not just the cops. FBI should have better things to do.

Well, that is dumb. How about just asking the guy to take off the glasses or leave? Seems like a pretty simple request.

People still watch cams? Why? Rips and screeners come out so fast these days and the quality is 1000 times better. Hell, lone survivor HD rip was on the net a week before it was in theatres. I just don't understand how there is still a market for video cam'd movies.

For real. Cams are awful, but this shite has a great market overseas apparently.

It seems like there are some naive people here when it comes to how much in the pocket of the entertainment industry the Feds are.
