Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.
I did know that US codes weren’t standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as “a police code” to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written “Philadelphia police code” - but then I would have missed out on your reply.

* are rapped words lyrics?
Are words in a poem lyrics?
