Steve Jackson Games, Inc. v. United States Secret Service

1993), was a lawsuit arising from a 1990 raid by the United States Secret Service on the headquarters of Steve Jackson Games (SJG) in Austin, Texas.

[5] The judge reprimanded the Secret Service, calling their warrant preparation "sloppy,"[4] suggesting that they needed "better education" regarding relevant statutes,[10] and finding that they had no basis to suspect SJG of any wrongdoing.

[11] Jackson and other Austin area activists including John Quarterman, Jon Lebkowsky, Bruce Sterling, Smoot Carl-Mitchell, Lar Kaufman and Matt Lawrence formed EFF-Austin in 1991.

Although the raid was not a part of Operation Sundevil, this law enforcement effort, which spanned two years, has a tarnished image owing to a lack of successful prosecutions and questionable procedures.
