It sounds like an inverse-need situation. Those who can afford Google Glasses probably live in neighbourhoods they aren't attacked at a high rate, whereas those who live in higher crime neighbourhoods can't afford it.

Will it help? Once criminals recognize the device they will either steal them or smash you in the face to destroy the evidence.

Such a system for security ought to have video storage inside a hard shell with a high speed 4G link, able to send the last minute of video/sound (with gps position) to the police at the push of a button.

The high speed link is probably a bit bulky (batteries) and will probably always be put into a pocket or something anyway, even without security considerations.

But sure, criminals could get some equipment to disturb mobile connections.

Glass does have a "high speed 4G link" - your smartphone.
