FBI, Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and University of California Police Raid business, break into locked rooms, seize all computers, make no arrests and later return the computers.
Any problems?
According to EFF:
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the ACLU of Northern California filed suit in federal court today to protect the privacy and free speech rights of two San Francisco Bay Area community organizations after the groups’ computers were seized and the data copied by federal and local law enforcement. Both organizations, Long Haul and the East Bay Prisoner Support Group (EBPS), are publishers of information for social and political activists.
Here is a copy of the lawsuit: Longhaul, Inc., et al. v. U.C. Regents, FBI, et al.

I am sure that this was just a little misunderstanding, are we sure it was not for safe keeping? Hell, after the Pellicano caper they just wanted to be sure not to leave all the ‘important’ computers behind! LOL
