The song “California Love” includes the following lyrics:
“Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west A state that’s untouchable like Eliot Ness”
So, who is Eliot Ness?
Per the IMDb:
“Eliot Ness led a team of law enforcement agents that were known as “The Untouchables”–reputedly incorruptible.”
According to the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives:
“Special Agent Eliot Ness is one of the most famous federal agents in the history of law enforcement.”
“Against all odds, he and his Untouchables broke the back of organized crime in Chicago, a city that was dubbed the “Crime Capital of the World.” Ness performed brilliantly as both a crime fighter and a leader in a time of national distress.”
“The real Ness’ success was no accident. During his 10 years of federal law enforcement service with ATF’s legacy agencies he faced organized criminal elements flush with huge sums of cash. All the while, he demonstrated that he possessed intelligence, ability and above all else, honesty and integrity which he undisputedly maintained throughout his federal law enforcement career.”
“Today, to police departments and federal law enforcement organizations across America, Eliot Ness symbolizes that no matter how challenging the times, circumstances, environment or mission objective, the badge continues to represent the tradition of “untouchable” honesty, integrity and ethical behavior for all who serve and protect.”
