Why do people (usually gangsters) say “Fuck 12” when yelling at cops?

Apparently 10-12 is a police code for “stand by” or “stop” just like 10-4 is code for “affirmative” (the latter of which was appropriated by truckers and radio users).
 
It may also be a reference to the 70s TV show Adam-12, just like 5-0 is a reference to the 70s TV show Hawaii Five-0.
 
Basically it’s something that people say to alert others that police are nearby, while also not tipping of the police themselves. Because police get wise to the code slang it has to periodically change, so there are a lot of slang terms for police.

Fuck 12
Fuck the police.
It is said to originate as the result of the TV show Adam-12, to be in reference to a narcotics unit, or a radio code used by police themselves.
An organizer in Chicago told me that it’s because when you read police reports of when they murder someone, it’s narrated from the point of view of the cops (at 12 o’clock).
