In a few episodes of the series the senior detective (usually Lennie Briscoe) will approach a drug dealer whom he knows will have information valuable to the case, but the dealer will usually play dumb so the detective and his partner will frisk the dealer and find drugs, the cuffs come out and the dealer will spill his guts. This action is called the squeeze and the way it's done is illegal. The proper procedure is that after finding the drugs the police are meant to arrest the dealer and bring him to the District Attorney's office for a plea-for-information deal. As only the Assitant District Attorney's have the authority to put the squeeze on as they will need proof of evidence in case the dealer's testimony is needed in a court of law.
