Feds drop Maine gun case after judge questions years of secret surveillance

Federal prosecutors have dropped a gun case against Willie Banks after a judge raised concerns about years of secret surveillance. Police used a camera at a neighboring home to monitor Banks for three years before arresting him for a shooting. The judge's questioning highlights broader issues about the extent of surveillance and privacy rights, suggesting a significant shift in how law enforcement's use of secretive monitoring tactics is viewed in court. This case underscores the ongoing debate about balancing national security with individual rights.
