para que no me capturen/pillen/atrapen
Assuming it comes from cachar:
I found this for cachar in a gloss on curiosidades jergales:
México, Bolivia, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela y EE UU: atrapar, pillar, capturar
cachar: Chile: entender - captar

Maybe it's the Chile meaning?: para asegurarme de haberlo entendido/captado??

SORRY: translation would be :Just so as not to get caught.

put in evidence
Real guessing game here!
From your context I imagine the following picture: two people are to meet at some airport but must not be seen together which could compromise one of them so the arrange to arrive via different routes. Maybe your term is another misspelling of
ESCRACHARME
Don't know if there is a more slang term for my suggestion.

snitch on somebody
It's synonym of tell on / give away. Just options. Good luck!
