An important distinction that I don’t want to get lost in our discussion is that this isn’t just a camera. It’s a device designed to provide a user with someone’s identity and, by extension, available information about the target without their knowledge or consent. I can instantly think of half a dozen ways that can be used to bring harm to others, some of which meet the legal standards for harassment.
So taking someone’s picture, and using facial recognition to acquire their identity and entire digital footprint for unspecified use by another private citizen, all in secret…line seems awfully clear to me.
