Yeah that's weasel shit, "our systems don't do facial recognition" can just mean the cameras don't have facial recognition built in and that's all done off-cam on the backend systems.

Facial recognition is still happening, but they can weasel out of admitting it by stipulating the camera isn't capable of it.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
