187 is an old California police code for a murder. Might still be in use, I don’t know. It came into more common knowledge with the song Deep Cover by Dr Dre and Snoop in 1992 with the lyrics “Yeah, and you don’t stop /
'Cause it’s 1-8-7 on a undercover cop”
Americans have so many weird number associations
420
10-4
7/11
401k
5150
187
411
Etc.
i only know about 420 and 69 thanks to memes😅
Like half of those you listed are police codes that they use over the radios that seeped into common language.
You lost me at 5150 and 187
