“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

Government tends to be ahead of the curve.

I dunno what world you're living in, but I live in a world where police still do nearly all their work with pencil and paper and if you want to talk to a police officer, no you can't talk to them on the phone or send an email. You'll have to have a meeting face to face.

Sorry, I don't mean the police.

Actually, police do tend to be reasonably ahead when technology is invasive. I've heard many stories about them seeing through walls with other technology. They also tend to like face-tracking, which is pretty advanced. They just are really far behind on technology that could be used to hold them accountable.
