Sarah Slocum, who was allegedly attacked at Molotov's in the Haight for wearing Google Glass, appears to have a history of recording people sneakily—even before she owned a face computer. In 2012, Slocum's neighbors filed a restraining order against her for surreptitiously using a smartphone to record their conversation from outside their window. And yesterday, the full-length video of the Molotov's incident came out, showing that Slocum was indeed recording people at the bar without their knowledge (which she has denied). The video also shows Slocum flinging nasty insults and obscenities at other patrons.

Slocum's own mother also filed a restraining order against her in 2011, following reports of domestic violence, SF Weekly reports.

Yesterday afternoon, SF Weekly got a comment from Slocum, who denied all of her neighbors' claims of snooping, and said that she and her mother have had some scuffles but that's all in the past. "I was a victim of a crime a month ago. I don't know why this is being brought up," she tells the Weekly. Hmm, we just can't imagine. And we're pretty sure this is not the gal Google wants as the "Face of Glass."
