>bypassed ban

Broke the law is the phrase we want here. They did an illegal thing. They didn't just scoot past a barrier, they violated people's rights.

Claiming that an administrative policy against using facial recognition as a "right" seems like a stretch.

This is such strange way to describe "right for privacy".

Hurling a rock at someone is privacy now?

It's really fortunate that no one is arguing that because you're right, it would be a pretty absurd stance to take. What we're saying is that not doing anything wrong entitles you to privacy and until you're tried and convicted you didn't do anything wrong. I dare say the fact that the case was dismissed with prejudice goes pretty strongly in our favor on this one.
