"Bipping is the slang term for a specific type of car break-in in San Francisco that shatters vehicle windows with very little noise."

It's specific to this area and crime.

Also, lawyers don't charge crimes, police do. [edit: fine, prosecutors do the actual charging, but the police arrest on suspicion of a named crime]
