Well, that sounds nice, but all that will happen is that "non-govern-cement-agencies" will "own" the facial recognition equipment/software and they will inform their govern-cement friends.

Thus bypassing all kinds of laws and rights.

I would like to say that i believe in the politiroaches of San Fran, but i don't. I believe they are just virtue signalling. As they have already failed on many other human fronts.

And, the problem with facial recognition is not about privacy, it is about govern-cement encroachment. Privacy never really existed. Police drive around with vans that look inside people's homes. The problem is that we have so many laws now that everyone is guilty. That you are just waiting for the police to come and incarcerate you.
