> Finally I wonder how they will implement this, I mean after all I can sign up and start using any AWS service with just a credit card what's to stop police departments from simply using a corporate card and signing up for a different account?
Maybe they could work some kind of penalty into the contract? Something like "if you're working on behalf of a police department, you are forbidden from using our facial recognition services. If you sign up despite this term, we will cancel your account and retroactively bill you $100,000 or your usage at a rate 1000x normal, whichever is greater."
