It looks like law enforcement was definitely one of their let's say top 3 target markets when they built Rekognition, though.

Do know what gives it away? The fact that Amazon is actively pursuing that market and isn't just "allowing anyone to use it freely and equally".

No, they're going to law enforcement and showing them Powerpoint presentations, demos, and everything.

That reflects where the funded customer base is, not Amazon's preferences. That may be the result of a social reality of what this tech is good for and who is funded to make use of it.
