Man Claims FBI Interrogated Him For Wearing Google Glass At Movie Theatre

A man in the United States claims he was interrogated by the FBI after he wore prescription Google Glasses into a movie theatre.

The man told Gadgeteer that he and his wife were asked to leave by police, before being questioned for "hours" over fears he was trying to record or broadcast the film.

"I kept telling them that I wasn’t recording anything – my Glass was off, they insisted they saw it on. I told them there would be a light coming out the little screen if Glass was on, and I could show them that, but they insisted that I cannot touch my Glass for the fear “I will erase the evidence against me that was on Glass."

For their part the cinema claimed piracy had been a problem before, and that management had ordered staff to contact the FBI in the event of similar incidents.

Take a look at how the story unfolded below.

10 Best Tablets

The new iPad Air 2 from Apple is an incredible new upgrade to the tablet you know and love. It's far lighter and thinner, has an upgraded processor, and in our review we called it nothing short of a "masterpiece". If you have more than £399 to spend on a tablet, spend it on this.
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact(02 of07)

The Z3 Tablet Compact is Sony's somewhat delayed reaction to the success of the iPad Mini. The Z3 Compact is an astonishing 6.4mm thin. It's waterproof -- like its smartphone counterparts -- and it comes with the same Full-HD display. With a massive 4,500mAh battery as well Sony's hoping that the premium features and impressive build-quality will dissuade you from buying with Apple.

Tesco's Hudl 2 tablet improves on its predecessor in every way, it has a larger, higher-resolution screen, dual-speakers and a faster processor. It's also a really great option for those who want a no-fuss Android experience.

The new Nexus 7 has a higher resolution display (at 323 pixels per inch), a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor and a thinner bezel on both sides of the screen. It's also the first device to run the new version of Android, 4.3 Jelly Bean, and a 5-megapixel screen at the same bargain-basement price.
iPad Mini 3(05 of07)

At £319, the iPad Mini with Retina display isn't cheap. Also its only major upgrade on the last model is the addition of a Touch ID sensor. It's a decision that has raised eyebrows but as you'll soon realise, when a tablet is this good, sometimes it's more about what you don't do that matters.
Kindle Fire HDX(06 of07)

The new Kindle Fire HDX tablet comes in both a 7- and 8.9 inch version, and both are tasty upgrades. The 7-inch has a 1920 x 1200 display, a quad-core processor, LTE, all the Amazon services you'd expect plus a new 'Mayday' support service for new users. It starts at £199. The 8.9-inch is pricer at £329, but has an even more impressive 2560x1600 display - and still comes in lighter than an iPad Air.
Nexus 9(07 of07)

The Google Nexus 9 has an excellent display and comes running Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's thin, powerful (thanks to a 64-bit processor) and sports HTC's BoomSound speakers making it a multimedia powerhouse.
