In Long Beach they call them "Ghetto Birds".

I even saw some Afro Americans wearing black t shirts with that slogan on them and a picture of one when I was at the Los Angeles International Auto show in November.. .

The choppers fly around in circles late at night over the neighborhoods and shine spotlights down on who they think are drug dillers outside.

I personally saw them doing it once in South of Sacramento town whe I cam there at midnight from LA dropping off an old w123 Mercedes we'd picked up in LA to a mechanic's house in that town..

Things were really annoying.

One of these days someone is gonna shine one of those red laser pointer pen things back up at them at midnight: "Say buh bye" pigs!
