No, a human being comparing your face to a picture is entirely unlike facial recognition. The cop matching your face will not remember you for an arbitrarily long time (or indefinitely), cannot transmit the memory of your face to other cops across space and time, does not catalogue what you are wearing, the delta between your actual face and the image, and all other manner of minutiae.
Cameras and automated systems are likewise fallible in entirely separate dimensions (personal bias, circumstantial factors): the camera does not get tired, but we place a certain unwarranted trust in black-box systems that fail in unexpected ways.
They are absolutely governance issues, but _augmented_ in scale by technological reach.
