hue and cry  

Définition

  • Prior to the development of sophisticated police forces, communities often relied upon an alarm, called hue and cry, to mobilize citizens to find individuals who had committed felonies. Fourth Amendment historian William Cuddihy observed that hue and cry was “the method of English search with the oldest origin,” an origin that he traces as far back as 1233 (Cuddihy 2009, 28).
