I agree with Andy. It's not up to the company to protect civil rights through limiting the use of their product -- that's the job of the government. If Amazon stopped allowing law enforcement to use their products, someone else would literally just resell their products, because there is no way you can enforce every use, and you've just kicked the can down the road.
If Amazon really wanted to take a stand on this, they would use their massive size and lobbying power to lobby the government to put in new rules and laws about the use of facial recognition technology.
Not only would that help everyone at once, but it would also protect their profit margins because then every company has to play by the same rules, thus allowing them to justify the expense to their shareholders. It's a win all around.
