>a toilet roll dispenser at a public facility outside the Temple of Heaven in Beijing reportedly scans faces to keep people from stealing too much paper,

I have several questions:

1. Wait, am I stealing paper when I use a public restroom? Are those dispensers like the 'take a penny, leave a penny' tills?

2. Is there an acceptable amount of stealing which the facial recognition limits, or does it alert the management any time that paper is dispensed and leave the judgement to human beings?

3. There are literally cameras in the stalls?

4. How long is its memory? If it shuts me down, can I simply wait for someone else to go in before resuming my theft?
