I may have witnessed a number of absurd human behavior in recent days in public areas; what are the legalities of wearing body cameras? Are there any body cameras you would recommend that would not attract attention?
Time to buy a body camera?

Yeah was tongue in cheek. I wouldnt buy it but I like the thought! 
Not thinking about a body cam but I recently added a dash to all my vehicles. Some of the driving stunts I see now a days encouraged that decision.
I do like the gun camera idea,,,, a lot!

Getting comfortable
I would suggest looking for one that works well in low light for better captures when at the titty bars.
That's arjun's real question lol
Don't know on how noticeable these would be but cheapest and easiest setup would be a an action camera ie GoPro, Dji Osmo Action, or others, on a chest mount of some sorts
Axis cameras generally-speaking.
I have seen way too many bizarre behavior recently in Costco, Public Transportations, and Public Spaces.
I have a budget of $150 max, but I did come across the Ray Ban Metaglasses which does not seem to have continuous recording

Methinks you mean, "Axon". At least, that's the brand I see in most LE videos...Axis cameras generally-speaking.

Can Civilians Use Body Worn Cameras?
Since 2021, federal agents have been required to wear body worn cameras as well. But what about civilians? Can a civilian use a body cam?

Body cameras are going to be very obvious. Only some hidden camera eg in glasses if well done will be un-noticeable. Question is why you want to record people? If it's random strangers, you'll only get yourself dragged into prosecutions as a witness if you get involved. If there's an issue closer to home, then maybe more reason.
Good point, people's behaviors are highly questionable nowadays especially in big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, LA, and DC.
I thought about the Metaglasses by Ray Ban, but they don't offer continuous recording.
Any other suggestions for a not so obvious body camera? Thanks
