Public record documents obtained from two US states reveal that Amazon has entered the surveillance market, where it's been silently advertising its facial recognition software to law enforcement agencies.

According to a 147-page report published today by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Amazon has been contacting states and advertising "Amazon Rekognition," a deep learning-based facial recognition system that can work against both image and video inputs.
