Every Walmart/target/major retailer in the US has been using facial recognition since 2020-2021. ClearView provides the services to both corporations and law enforcement, combing the data from both of those into profiles of every citizen. The US has as much if not more surveillance than China, its just not upfront about it. And its also without a doubt illegal so in can’t be used as a primary source in convictions and is usually not even mentioned to retain secrecy about the level of data collected.
