Should police be allowed to use facial recognition to identify people in public spaces?

There's the argument that this is just scaling what used to be done by human police on the beat watching for suspicious behavior or known suspects. That doesn't require a warrant in public spaces. Now we can do this at scale with technology. Does that change the equation? I think it does. I struggle to find a legal argument against it, but I just don't think that's the kind of society most Americans want to live it. And it opens the door for abuse at a massive scale.
