BBC News, talking to Jennifer Granick, the EFF’s civil liberties director:

The second issue the EFF is concerned about is if police officers are doing the investigative work of a private company. “If there was some offence here it is not apparent what it is”, she said.

Actually, it’s very apparent, and quite simple. They’re looking at Jason Chen and Gizmodo on felony charges for buying stolen property. This police raid was not about what Gizmodo published.
