Do you have a passport?
Yeah, that dumbass doesn't realize the EU has been using passport photos to allow Interpol to build a database since back in 2010.
Not just Europe either. 172 countries use NFC passports, all of which have your full biometric info (including a high res headshot) encoded onto the chip.
If you've ever had a passport your face is known to the government of your country and searchable in a database.
