TikTok creator under police scrutiny for covert filming with Meta smart glasses in Scotland

A TikTok creator known as E Dobbin used Meta Oakley smart glasses to secretly film members of the public during a Scotland road trip, prompting a Police Scotland review amid complaints of harassment and inappropriate conduct. Incidents include sexualised comments about teenagers, a confrontation with a Sikh shopkeeper, and a tour of a CalMac ferry bridge that led to the operator pausing such visits. Meta is investigating and has blocked the creator's accounts; CalMac paused similar tours, and TikTok/YouTube say they will review content. The case highlights privacy concerns around smart glasses and whether filming in public can cross into criminal or civil wrongdoing.
