Don't think it's cited in this piece, there is also this recent piece of news - "Controversial facial-recognition software used 30,000 times by LAPD in last decade, records show"
I guess it's reasonable for police to use this technology, but not without more transparency and accountability... Feels like this year that's becoming very clear.
You're not the only one. If you read the opinions in United States v. Jones, the supreme court makes a pretty big distinction between the kinds of surveillance a police officer could reasonably do on their own, versus the scaling up that technology allows, and how that might kick otherwise allowed surveillance without a warrant to requiring a warrant just about the sheer amount of information being acquired. And that's even with data that could be available from watching from public streets, if there were enough officers to watch everyone.
