Google's wearable technology Google Glass was put to another test for its recording capabilities when one of its users taped an arrest in progress.
Chris Barrett, founder of the website PRServe.com and a documentary filmmaker, posted video of the arrest while walking along the boardwalk in Wildwood New Jersey on July 4, ABC News reports.
According to the report, Barrett encountered the end of a fight and two men being led away in handcuffs and recorded the incident with Google Glass.
Barrett said that his recording demonstrates the potential of Google Glass adding that it is a case study to show how it will change citizen journalism.
He further said that as the wearer is the own steady cam, there is less possibility of a shaky video and appears to be better than the typical video taken at night.
The report said that Google Glass do not indicate to non-users whether it's currently taking pictures or recording video.
Barrett added that if Google Glass takes off, the world may be scary for some people; however, with any new technology people are nervous.
The much anticipated wearable technology has been debated upon by critics over its potential abuse of people's privacy.
