Apple claims it isn’t scanning customers’ faces, after teen sues for $1B

Doesn't $1bn seem excessive for being wrongly accused of petty theft on multiple counts? I get that it's a very disruptive thing to have happen to you, but still.

Also, the case seems like it has nothing to do with the case except that it was the cause of false identification. I think people are misidentified in photos by other people all the time, though important to note in his case apparently the detective immediately recognized the guy as not the one stealing in the photo. Seems that maybe someone at Apple didn't do their own diligence, which is probably the more concerning thing here.
