Quote:

=C2=AB
In 1999, it was revealed that Savio had been trailed by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation from the moment that he had climbed on to the
police car that harbored Jack Weinberg. He was followed for more than
a decade "because he had emerged as the nation=E2=80=99s most prominent
student leader."[7] There was no evidence that he was a threat or that
he had any connection with the Communist Party, but the FBI decided he
merited their attention because they thought he could inspire students
to rebel.[7]

Even when he had quit the FSM, the FBI called him to their Berkeley
office. They told Savio that they had received letters of a
threatening nature towards him, but they would not speak with Savio=E2=80=
=99s
attorney present. However, he would not agree, and instead criticised
the FBI =E2=80=98for failure to make arrests and take action in the South
where human rights are being violated every day.=E2=80=99[4] At this point =
the
meeting ended.

According to hundreds of pages of FBI files, the bureau:

    Collected, without court order, personal information about Savio
from schools, telephone companies, utility firms and banks and
compiled information about his marriage and divorce.
    Monitored his day-to-day activities by using informants planted in
political groups, covertly contacting his neighbors, landlords and
employers, and having agents pose as professors, journalists and
activists to interview him and his wife.
    Obtained his tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service in
violation of federal rules, mischaracterized him as a threat to the
president and arranged for the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies
to investigate him when he and his family travelled in Europe.
    Put him on an unauthorized list of people to be detained without
judicial warrant in event of a national emergency, and designated him
as a "Key Activist" whose political activities should be "disrupted"
and "neutralized" under the bureau's illegal counterintelligence
program known as COINTELPRO.[11]

The investigation finally ended at the beginning of 1975 and at that
point an investigation in to the FBI=E2=80=99s abuse of power began. Savio=
=E2=80=99s
ex-wife, Suzanne Goldberg, said that the "FBI=E2=80=99s investigation of he=
r
and Savio [was] a waste of money and an invasion of privacy."[7]
