English term or phrase: Asfalt kovboyu
I am looking for slang terms for cops, like the English 'fuzz' & 'rozzers'. I've come across the word asfalt kovboyu & fruko ( outdated?). Are these terms common?

Definitely the best answer. I've come across aynasız (presumably without a mirror because they never see their own faults?). But I'd never heard of a pavement crow!! Thanks to all for their suggestions & comments.
