I had never heard of this man before. You never see his name in the papers. But he is a big politician, and is very much respected by every cop I ever met. I cannot tell you who he is “Hell” said one of the men. “Why didn’t you say you were working for him in the first place?” They walked away from the car, and I turned around and came on toward New York. But at the next town there were two men who stopped me and leaned into the car. They warned me not to go too fast or I was likely to be picked up by some cop who would not understand. I knew then that the two policemen who had stopped me had telephoned to New York to verify my identity, and then telephoned to the next town ahead. If they had not received their O.K. from New York the next officers would have arrested me.”(A BOOTLEGGER'S STORY). Cops then were often corrupted and worked to smuggle it too by not arresting them and turning the other way, making money by taking bribes from the bootleggers. In conclusion prohibition was a very dangerous, profitable, and illegal business that made many men just like gatsby, rich beyond their wildest
