A shake down can be particullar to a geographic area. Basically, it is one party getting into the personal assets of another party without consent. Usually a shake down involves drugs, money, power, the law, knowledge, or any combination thereof.

I think (a party) might have something I want. We are going to do a shake down later and see.
