These guys were the most successful police officers in the 1920's. Some of their tactics are unbelievable!

Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith were United States federal police officers in charge of the Prohibition Unit. Together they achieved the most successfularrests and convictions during the U.S. prohibition.

In the first 5 years of prohibition, they made 4,932arrests, of which 95% ended in conviction. That's almost 3 arrests per day, every day for 5 years! So how did they do it?

They were well know for a huge array of costumes and disguises they employed in their work. But their most successful technique involved going into speakeasies, showing off their badges and asking for a drink. Bartenders assumed they were joking and would just serve them a beer, often commenting on the quality of their fake badges and the originality of the gag.
