Findface can't identify you, who are you, why are you walking past my house? I have never seen you before, I'm going to call the police, you're acting strange.

Do you expect police to come every time you see a stranger?
I can imagine things getting to the stage where someone not being findable on the face register is considered suspicious enough for police attention.
Being recognized by police and being recognized by random John Doe are different things.
They won't be.
This was how the Trayvon Martin shooting started: Zimmerman saw someone "suspicious" in his neighborhood and decided to confront him.
