Still a false dilemma. Recording you against your wishes is already against the law in some countries, and not required for the feature to actually function.
How does facial recognition work without recording the faces it's supposed to recognise?
Only acquaintances with your permission would have entered your face into their local database. Beyond that, checking faces against what's stored in the database does not require recording, hence you should not be in any randos database.
That's a very good and respectful way of solving the issue, thank you for sharing!
