I think it's a bit silly to target face recognition. The data's already there, so to say "yeah you can have all this video footage, and you can review the footage all you want, you just aren't allowed to use a computer to analyze it" is dumb. To the extent that further privacy protections are needed they should be enforced at the point of data collection/retention, not at the point of analysis.

It costs a lot of hours to watch cctv footage. Tracking everyone who ever is on cctv footage without face/gait/whatever recognition is impossible. We do want the police to do their jobs. We don't want them to be an intelligence apparatus.
