Pretty sure that does not cover a face database indexing your own photos/videos, running locally on your own computer. If it did, that would be extremely silly.

I think you're right in this case, but Illinois lawmakers are generally extremely silly, so I wouldn't put it past them.

Why would the law make exemptions for running the search on on a computer that has the database.

Sure. I guess the intent is the main difference.
