I’m not American, but isn’t the police about the only people you should ever trust (if any) with facial-recognition technology?

If you can’t trust your police with it, then there is something fundamentally wrong with your society.

The police have the power of the government behind them, which in the US literally has the ability to kill you in some states.

At least if it's in the hands of corporations there's still a chance that the only entity more powerful (the government) will do something about it (through regulation).

There is something fundamentally wrong with American society, though. No arguments there.
