“Mopic” in a military context refers to motion picture or combat camera footage, derived from the Army Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) code “84C” for a Motion Picture Cameraman used during the Vietnam era. The term is most famously associated with the 1989 film 84 Charlie MoPic, a realistic Vietnam War movie shot from the point of view of a combat cameraman documenting a reconnaissance patrol.

The “biggest bust” depends on the context, as it can refer to the largest chest measurement, such as Robert Earl Hughes’s 10 ft 4 in chest circumference, or a drug bust, like the seizure of 700,000 pounds of meth precursor chemicals. In sports, it commonly refers to highly-touted draft picks who perform poorly, with notable examples including JaMarcus Russell in the NFL and Anthony Bennett in the NBA.
Largest chest circumference
Robert Earl Hughes: His chest measured 3.15 meters (10 ft 4 in), the largest ever recorded, shortly before his death in 1958.

Omertà is a Southern Italian code of silence and honor that strictly forbids cooperating with authorities or informing on others within a specific group, especially criminal organizations like the Mafia. Adherents to the code are expected to handle wrongs and disputes internally, often through personal vengeance (vendetta), rather than appealing to the state’s legal system. 

Key Principles of Omertà

The code is based on several core tenets, the violation of which is often punishable by death: 

• Absolute Secrecy: Members are forbidden from revealing any information about the organization’s activities, structure, or membership to law enforcement or outsiders.
• Self-Reliance: A core belief is that seeking help from the police or legal system is a sign of weakness or cowardice. As a Sicilian proverb states: “He who is deaf, blind and silent will live a hundred years in peace”.
• Loyalty and Solidarity: The code demands extreme loyalty and solidarity among members, considering it shameful to betray even one’s enemy to the authorities.
• Internal Justice: Avenging personal injuries is a responsibility reserved for the victim and their family, not the state. 

Origin and Usage

• Origin: The code originated and remains common in Southern Italy (Sicily, Calabria, Campania) and other Mediterranean regions like Corsica and Crete. It is thought to have developed from a general cultural distrust of historically oppressive foreign governments and an ineffective state legal system.
• Etymology: The word likely derives from the rare Spanish word hombredad, meaning “manliness,” or possibly from the Latin humilitas, meaning “humility”.
• Modern Context: While strongly associated with traditional Italian criminal organizations like the Cosa Nostra, the term is now used more broadly to describe any “wall of silence” or conspiracy of silence within a group, such as an institutional or professional “code of silence”. 

The breaking of omertà, notably by high-profile informants (known as pentiti or “rats” in Italian criminal circles) like Joseph Valachi in the 1960s and Tommaso Buscetta in the 1980s, has been crucial in law enforcement efforts to penetrate and prosecute organized crime families. 

Besides 

omertà, codes of silence appear in various other groups and professions, driven by internal loyalty, fear of reprisal, or shared cultural norms. These are often referred to generally as a “code of silence” or “conspiracy of silence“. 

Specific Examples of Codes of Silence

• The “Blue Wall of Silence” / “Blue Code”: This is an informal, unwritten rule among law enforcement officers in the United States not to report on a colleague’s errors, misconduct, or crimes, particularly regarding police brutality. Officers who break this code may face ostracization, physical threats, or the denial of backup in dangerous situations, as famously experienced by whistleblower Frank Serpico.
• “Snitches Get Stitches” Culture: Common in some communities and criminal circles, this is a pervasive, informal code that discourages individuals from providing information to law enforcement. The phrase itself implies that informants (“snitches”) will face violent physical retribution (“stitches”).
• “Organizational Silence” in Professions: Beyond law enforcement, an implicit code of silence can exist in various other professions (such as medicine or finance). This often involves a culture where employees are discouraged from speaking up about safety concerns, ethical breaches, or systemic problems for fear of professional retaliation or damaging the organization’s reputation.
• Military Special Forces: Elite military units, such as Britain’s Special Forces (SAS), are known for having a strong, albeit informal, code of silence regarding their operations and internal affairs. It is exceptionally rare for members to speak publicly without official sanction.
• “Bushido” (Historical Context): While not a direct “code of silence” in the criminal sense, the traditional samurai code of Bushido emphasized honor, duty, and loyalty, where certain transgressions or betrayals were handled internally or through ritual suicide (seppuku) rather than external justice, reflecting a form of insular conduct.

  Recent examples of cases involving the 
  police code of silence often manifest in civil lawsuits, internal affairs investigations, and high-profile trials where officers are accused of ignoring or covering up misconduct. 
  
  High-Profile Incidents and Legal Actions
  Karen Read Case (Ongoing in 2024-2025): This ongoing case involves a woman, Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, a police officer John O’Keefe. Her defense team has alleged a broad “law enforcement cover-up” and a conspiracy of silence involving local police and investigators who they claim framed her to protect others at a house party where O’Keefe sustained his fatal injuries.
  Houston Police Department Case (2024): It was revealed in July 2024 that the Houston Police Department had misused an internal “lack of personnel” code for eight years, resulting in over 260,000 cases being suspended and ignored, including serious cases like sexual assaults and homicides. This points to a systemic failure to be transparent and accountable.
  Chicago Police “Do-Not-Call” List (2023-2025): The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office maintains a “do-not-call” list of hundreds of police officers with serious misconduct records (e.g., framing residents, using coercion for false confessions) who are deemed untrustworthy as witnesses in court. Controversies surrounding the management and potential rollback of this list highlight ongoing struggles with police accountability and the effects of past codes of silence.
  Whistleblower Retaliation Lawsuit (2022): In Chicago, a detective named Beth Svec was awarded $4.3 million in a lawsuit because the City of Chicago violated the Illinois Whistleblower Act. She had found evidence that two fellow officers lied in their reports regarding an arrest and the use of force, and then faced retaliation for reporting the truth.
  Derek Chauvin Trial and the Shift in Testimony (2021): In a significant departure from tradition, several Minneapolis police officers, including the police chief, testified against their colleague Derek Chauvin during his trial for the murder of George Floyd. They explicitly stated that Chauvin’s actions violated department policy, training, and ethics, a rare public break in the “blue wall of silence” that signaled a potential shift in police culture.
  Chicago Police Corruption Convictions & Lawsuits (2020): Following the convictions of Chicago Police officers Xavier Elizondo and David Salgado for using fake search warrants and conducting illegal home invasions, new lawsuits were filed against the city. These lawsuits alleged that an existing code of silence within the department allowed the officers’ misconduct to continue for years, leading to the planting of evidence and false arrests.
  NSW, Australia, Officer Misconduct (2024): An internal investigation found that a New South Wales (NSW) former police officer destroyed evidence (submerged body-worn cameras) after using excessive force, and that four other officers who were aware of this cover-up kept silent. The matter was referred for potential criminal charges against all involved.
