raqueta

raqueta

A quick, superficial body search or frisk performed by law enforcement or security personnel on the street, usually to check for weapons, drugs, or cash. (In Venezuela, it is the common slang for a routine police pat-down).

We had to stay still while the officers did the raqueta on us in front of the mall.

raqueta

It is the equipment used to hit the ball in tennis or fronton (a popular Mexican court game similar to squash or handball). It consists of a handle and a frame with tightly stretched strings that make the ball bounce back with force.

No way! The strings on my raqueta broke right in the middle of the match.

raqueta

A pat-down or frisk performed by law enforcement officers on civilians.

The cops gave me a raqueta even in places they shouldn't have.
