Black Bag Operations were conducted by FBI Agents wherein they illegally entered offices of targeted individuals and/or organizations, and photographed information found in their records. This practice was used by the FBI from 1942 until 1967. Director Hoover in July 1966 ordered the practice discontinued, and he again restated his position in January 1967.
