You realize that paparazzi are shitty bottom feeders, so comparing public policy to the dregs of humanity might not make the point you were attempting?

To answer your question though, the Dallas police have a history of using oppressive tactics from planting cocaine to kettling (exclusively leftist) protesters, so when they pinky-swear that they're going to use this tech responsibility I don't believe them for a second.

All you have to do is look at the other departments using this as a shortcut to actual detective work and arresting the wrong suspect to know how things are going to go; imagine getting arrested and the prosecutor shows a picture of someone who looks kinda like you to a jury. Add in the fact that these tools are inept at identifying POC and it's a recipe for more systemic racism at the hands of the police.
