UNMARKED POLICE CAR WARNING
This number actually exists here in Australia. Read this and then send it to all your friends! I never even knew about
being able to dial the number 112 feature! This actually happened to someone's daughter.
Lauren was 19 yrs old and in university. This story takes place over the Christmas/New Year's holiday break.
It was the Saturday before New Year's and it was about 1pm in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend.
An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on.
Lauren's parents have 4 children (high school and university age) and have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather wait until they get to a petrol station, etc. So Lauren had actually listened to her parents' advice, and promptly phoned the number 112 on her mobile phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away.
She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her.
The dispatcher checked to see if there was a police car where she was, and there wasn't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back-up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew that bit of advice, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.
Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a 'safe' place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them i.e., put on your hazard lights, or call No. 112 like Lauren did. Too bad the mobile phone companies don't give you this little bit of wonderful information.
112 IS THE NUMBER TO RING IF YOU CANNOT GET SERVICE ON YOUR MOBILE
(IT'S LIKE 000)
So now it's your turn to let your friends know about No. 112.
This is good information that I did not know!!!!
Please pass on to any females that you know.
Go to the Website now. It is real and very informative for all the family, then forward on to friends & family.
