Almost certainly not. My understanding of the SJ Games raid was that the Secret Service was issued a search warrant by a court prior to the raid. 18 U.S. Code § 1030 (f) explicitly excepts lawfully authorized investigative activity of a law enforcement agency. The Secret Service is such a law enforcement agency, the raid was an investigatory activity, and since they obtained a search warrant prior to the raid it was a "lawfully authorized" search. As such, even if there might be liability based on their actions under the other portions of the section (I have no idea on this aspect, I'm not too familiar with the details of what they did as part of the search and seizure), the waiver in (f) is extremely broad and would apply to the Secret Service in that particular case. > (f) This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030
