Stop Snitchin'

Stop Snitchin'

Stop Snitchin’ refers to a controversial 2004 campaign launched in Baltimore, Maryland, to persuade criminal informants to stop "snitching", or informing, to law enforcement. Public officials, activists, and media outlets say that it is a campaign used by criminals to frighten people with information from reporting their activities to the police.

Stop Snitchin’ is the name of a specific Baltimore-based homemade DVD that threatened violence against would-be informants, and the name or theme of several hip-hop recordings.
