spotter

A criminal-accomplice whose job is to watch out for incoming policemen while his friends commit a crime (usually drug dealing, burglaries, safeguarding supply houses, etc). Spotters are basically human alarm systems that criminals use to warn them when the cops come near. They usually stand on a corner to get a better vantage point and to give their friends plenty of time to run away, flush the drugs, etc. The warning is usually a shouted code, but can sometimes also be visual; modern criminals now use cell phones. Often times, spotters are juveniles who can't be effectively punished by law for aiding in a felony.

Hello, mama? I'm in jail. The popo arrested me for chillin' on the same block where some dealin' was going down. They say I was spottin' and they be chargin' me as an accomplice.

flip

Police jargon: to incriminate others during interrogation in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence.

1. During interrogation for armed robbery, the suspect flipped on his 2 accomplices. As a result, he served only 2 years.
2. Tell her if she doesn't flip on her boyfriend, we'll send her kid to protective services.

comment out

To disable lines of code in a program by surrounding them with comment-start and comment-stop characters.

This means that the code written inside the comment-start and comment-stop area will be treated as the programmer's comments and will not be run.

We commented out the last half of our program to make sure that the first half was working.

wire

An electronic device worn on a person's body that records sounds and transmits the playback to a remote receiver. The wire is usually hidden on someone who is trying to get other people to incriminate themselves in conversation. There are usually cops listening to the receiver close by, and once they hear the incriminating evidence, they can run in and make arrests.

Sometimes the "wire" is just a tape recorder (does not transmit).

Wired person: So Frankie, I heard you were behind the cop killing. Am I right?
Frankie: Why do you care? You bugged or something?
Wired person: Naw Frankie, I'm not wired. I'm just curious. Come on Frankie! You can trust me. I won't tell nobody.
Frankie: Alright, alright! Me and Big Tony waited for him at his house. Then when he came home, we gave him a blanket party. But Tony got a little rough and accidentally knocked the mofo's brains out, so we had to bury his body off the freeway by the old farm.
Cops: Police! Freeze sucker! Frank Footer, you're under arrest for the murder of a police officer!
Frankie: Mother fucker! You're wearing a wire? You set me up!
Wired person: Sorry Frankie, I had no choice. (To cop) So now that I served up Frankie, the DA will drop all the charges against me right? I'm free right?
Cop: Ha! Not exactly, since some of your charges fall under Federal jurisdiction. You'll still be spending the next 10 to 20 in a Federal Prison.
Wired person: What?!?!
Cop: Hahaha, don't drop the soap. Take them both away!
