Glass isn't recording all the time. Just as the camera on your phone isn't recording all the time...
Of course it is possible with the right application installed that you could accomplish that for either device it isn't typical.
Just as with your cell phone, you need to be respectful of others. If someone doesn't want me to film them with Glass, I don't. It has never been a problem for me and frankly once I've spoken with others and explained how Glass works, it isn't a problem for others around me.
No one cares if you are carrying a camcorder around, they care if you aren't respecting their privacy and are recording. That is a social problem and not a new technological problem introduced by Glass.
