The manager with the glasses claimed recording was for his protection, for anyone confused about the wording.

The husband should have backed out of the situation and called the cops. It’s a rare situation that cops are a good solution, but this is one of them. The minute a cop walks through the front door, the manager will find the ID. That is, if you can get a cop to show up for this at all. You’d need to emphasize that the manager was threatening to start a fight, I suppose. Also, I’d love to see the cop ask to watch the recording of the incident. Fucking fool thinks the glasses are for his protection, that’s not how it works.

Finally, if he actually needs a camera “for his protection” there’s no reason to use pervert glasses, he can just mount an obvious camera and put up a sign, as has been done for decades. “Smile, you’re on Candid Camera!”, although that reference is lost on anyone under 30 now.
