Every grocery store self checkout has cameras on the whole area as you walk up, then cameras on your face, and then pretty good self identification via your payment card/rewards.
Hypothetically speaking couldn't you collect it from any security camera in an area where you have positive ID on people? Airport security comes to mind.
With all the trade in personal data in the US I assume it's only a matter of time before places like grocery stores start selling it.
Why stop at just gait though? Geometric fingerprinting of various body parts is also possible. Palm geometry readers have been commonplace for a long time.

Source? Where would they get the fingerprints from?

Going out on a limb and guessing illegal migrants aren’t going through airport security.

Fingerprints?
Wrong appendages, unless I don't know what "gait" means
What’s the general term for the specific characterization of a personal identifier? We use “fingerprint” for browser identification, for example.

Mostly gait probably. I wonder if there are any hacker techniques to scramble gait, like putting wooden planks or plastic parts inside clothes
IIRC that's exactly what a character did in either Person of Interest or Mr. Robot
(I have a very hard time to distinguish both in my memory since they were so similar in their themes)
I remember reading that early systems could be defeated entirely by putting a pebble in your shoe, but I’m sure they’ve improved a lot since.
gait recognition is a pseudoscience. this is also obvious from the way it is used: to fabricate a pretext to detain undesirables.
does rock in shoe work? That's the only way i've heard
The UK once had a ministry specialized on that /s
