Richard Dillon is suing the Jacksonville Beach Police Department and other entities after being wrongfully arrested in 2023 for allegedly attempting to lure a child from a McDonald's. Police relied on FACESNXT, an AI facial recognition system, which claimed a 93% match between Dillon and the suspect despite Dillon being over 300 miles away. The ACLU, representing Dillon, argues that law enforcement misused the technology by treating a candidate lead as confirmation and ignoring physical discrepancies, such as Dillon's distinctive facial scars. Despite warnings that poor lighting and "off-axis" photos can cause errors, police proceeded with the arrest. Dillon was jailed overnight and forced to pledge his truck's title for bond before charges were dropped two months later. This case highlights growing concerns over the lack of guardrails for AI tools used in criminal investigations.
