    "We have instances where we have kilos of cocaine from the 90s where people have already been sent to prison, have already been released from the sentence, and we still store it.”

    That’s kind of hilarious. If coke ever gets legalized the guy they took it from can still get it back someday.

    Not familiar with this new terminology; I usually just call them “pigs” to avoid confusion, but I suppose calling cops “rats” does make sense. You don’t usually see mainstream British newspapers introducing new slang terms like that, but hey, stranger things have happened, right?
