*[[California Penal Code]] sections were in use by the [[Los Angeles Police Department]] as early as the 1940s, and these [[Police code#The Hundred Code|Hundred Code]] numbers are still used today instead of the corresponding ten-code. Generally these are given as two sets of numbers{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}—"One Eighty-Seven" or "Fifty-One Fifty"—with a few exceptions such as "459"—Burglary, which is given as "Four-Five-Nine". The American public was made aware of these California Penal Code references as a result of the TV series ''[[Adam-12]]'', which used them habitually in radio communications and in the main title of the show. "5150" was also popularized by [[Van Halen]] [[5150_(album)|album of the same name]]. The best-known include:
** "187": Homicide {{further|187 (slang)}}
** "211": Robbery
