To the contrary, it always ends up that way, and institutional controls (making it illegal) are temporary at best, and completely useless most often. I don't think you'd feel this way about this broad dispersal of facial recognition tech if it didn't impact your family negatively in the short term. I hope you will soon personally experience the benefits of this tech becoming available to you and your community, and the temporary discomfiture that it may cause your family - simply by causing potential responsibility for actions they've undertaken - minor and of little import.
