Student sues Apple for $1 billion, claims face-recognition caused false arrest

I would be on his side if he was saying like a few million plus lawyers fees, or even maybe like 50 million... but a billion wtf? that's nuts. did he get raped in jail and hung upside down by his pinky toes? I think not.

It's just fucking ridiculous. The ca school system ruined my academic and professional career because I was being political on campus and I got nothing out of it. This fucker actually thinks they owe him a billion dollars. Just fucking nuts.

Lol, now he can’t get his:

The products included Apple Pencils, which retail for $99 each.

Is it just me or are there some things missing?

"Bah says someone must have used his lost ID to pretend they were him after they got caught stealing merchandise from Apple. The college student believes that the iPhone giant accepted the identification and then programmed its security systems to recognize the perpetrator’s face as Bah’s."

So the perp gets caught the first time, and hands over his ID to apple store security so they can log his face to the ID. Instead of calling the cops and taking the perp to jail right then, they do that instead?

With all this facial recognition, are they using it outside of their place of business and surveilling people who walk by?

Why did the police department take apples word that this is in fact who it is?
