No, I did not say it was ok with me. Did I say that was ok with me?

I am trying to understand the FBI mind set in the 70s.

I read a book recently on Al Capone. Lots of Chicago cops were on his payroll. Federal law enforcement at the time would harass and hound Al Capone and other mobsters on nit picking crimes such as "crossing state lines with a woman for immoral purposes", and other things that would not be crimes today, and for unrelated things that criminals today would not be charged with. The 70s were not that far removed from the 40s. J. Edgar Hoover was FBI chief until 1972.
