Unmarked cars with red light on cars, drive to a populated area before
pulling over and remember call *112.

It was about 1:00 p.m. 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 always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the
side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *112
on her cell 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 were police cars where she was and there
weren'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 about the *112 Cell Phone Feature, 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.

Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that
*112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let
your friends know about *112. You may want to Send this to every woman (and
man) you know; it may save a life.
