What changed

Florida police reportedly arrested commercial crabber Robert Dillon in August 2024 after the statewide FACES facial recognition system purportedly identified him as a possible match to a suspect shown in grainy surveillance images from Jacksonville Beach. Dillon reportedly lived more than 300 miles away and said he had never visited the city. He reportedly spent a night in jail and posted bond using his truck title.
