"Protectors of Privilege" is a book that could not have been written
had it not been for a broad coalition of citizen groups in major U.S. cities
that addressed the issue of police intelligence during the late 1970s and
early 1980s. The ACLU and American Friends Service Committee helped with the
organizing, and by the mid-1980s many major cities had enacted laws that
forced their respective police departments to reveal and/or destroy their
political intelligence files, and curtail their activities. This was the
case in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia, each of which gets
its own chapter in this book. Other chapters cover lesser cities and provide
historical background dating from the turn of the century.
