I spoke with a startup that is using 5G cell towers as radar. They said it is high-enough resolution to perform gait recognition.

The 5G conspiracy theorists are paying attention.

Depending on node density of a 5G network (think street lamp cells), it is not outside of the realm of possibility that you're going to be able to obtain radar derived point clouds from cellular networks doing double duty as phased array radar networks. Greater density = greater observability and surveillance capabilities through SDR (limited by hardware frequency band operating tolerances).
