- Robert Dillon sues Florida police for arrest based on faulty facial recognition match, alleging concealment of evidence.
- Facial recognition flagged him as a 93% match via a low-quality image from a McDonald's surveillance video.
- Dillon, living 300 miles away, was arrested for attempting to lure a child despite no evidence of being in the area.
- The lawsuit claims police built a case to confirm the AI's error instead of investigating exculpatory evidence.
- Defendants include Jacksonville Beach city, police corporal, sheriff's office, and Pinellas County Sheriff.
