What is La hada?
Spanish (mainly Puerto Rican) slang for law enforcement/the police. While la policia can also be used, la Hada is generally a less known term for the police and for this reason is often used among latino gang members, such as the Latin kings, because many non-gangsters unfamiliar with spanish slang are unaware of what this means. This term is especially popular in the ghetto area of Chicago. 'La Hada' generally has more of a negative connotation as opposed to 'la policia'. Also appears several times in Reymundo Sanchez autobiography, "My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King."
"La hada! La hada!" (the police, the police!) he yelled, fleeing the shootout scene.
"Llama la policia!" (call the police!) she cried, hoping her friend would be okay.
