What happened?
Gulf Coast News reports Robert Dillon filed suit against multiple law enforcement agencies after facial recognition software helped drive his 2024 arrest in a case that was later dropped. The report says Dillon was accused in a Jacksonville Beach case despite living more than 300 miles away and later proving he had not been there. The lawsuit argues police relied too heavily on unreliable AI matching and a tainted photo lineup.
