It sounds like the police feed Wegman’s a list of people they are interested in. Wegman’s helpfully gathers voiceprints, video, and eye scans (!) from everyone that walks in and feeds them into something that can identify people from the data gathered. Then they pass that information back to the police.
Surveillance pricing will just be a little frosting for them.
