Noun. Someone employed as a caretaker, or watch man; more commonly known as "wachi." Not to be confused with a security guard, this hired help serves as a mere illusion of security; notorious for drinking / sleeping on the job and often accused of participating as the "inside man" in crimes. The machete is the traditional weapon of choice, although some carry firearms... and some of those firearms are actually loaded... and some of the loaded firearms actually work.
Synonym: Rent-a-cop
Usage:
#1. Se metieron a mi casa unos ladrones. Nos dejaron hule!
#2. Que pasada! Y el wachi?
#1. No vio nada, ese man estaba fundiado!
This is an actual wachi, a master at work...
Please excuse the lack of Spanish punctuations.
