A federal judge in D.C. dismissed weapons charges against Torez Riley, calling the search leading to his arrest "the most illegal search" he'd ever seen. The judge, Zia Faruqui, criticized the U.S. Attorney's office for charging Riley based on insufficient evidence, suggesting a policy of charging first and asking questions later. The arrest stemmed from increased federal policing in D.C., ordered by President Trump. While the U.S. Attorney's office dropped the charges after reviewing bodycam footage, the incident highlights concerns about overreach and potential racial bias. Riley remains in custody on other charges.
