The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Department of Justice (DoJ) in an effort to find out what the US federal government's systems and policies are around facial recognition.
Following a freedom-of-information request in January that Uncle Sam still has not responded to, the ACLU has demanded [PDF] the release of the TLA trio's guidelines and rules regarding what the union terms "face surveillance technology," as well as details of any contracts or pilot programs it has with private companies over the technology.
Specifically, the civil-rights warriors have filed suit in Massachusetts against the Feds, requesting the district court forces the agencies and department to cough up "public records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act."

That's not what the ACLU thinks.
It doesn't matter what they think. All they will get is fabrications and excuses, as per standard procedure.
As for the "policies", just assume the worst, you are being recorded. We just have to create a system [develop a society] that depreciates the information to render it harmless. At the very least, let's make sure nobody has the advantage, point the cameras back at the authorities.
La politica e i criminali sono la stessa cosa..
