EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!!!!!
REPOST...IT CAN SAVE A LIFE OR TWO!!!
WARNING: Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 112.
An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her to never 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. I tried it on my AT&T phone & it said, "Dialing Emergency Number."
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 on 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 "Dialing, 112"
You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life.
^^^ What blitz said. Mile marker 7 at night is sketchy at best.
And then there is this for your little girl to see
Should be able to find it on facebook to share.
A woman alone? Never stop...
The girl told authorities that the man appeared to be injured and had a bloody, white bandage wrapped around one leg.
Deputies described the man as white, of an unknown age, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and with dark eyebrows. He wore a black beanie, a black hooded sweatshirt or hooded long-sleeve T-shirt and dark-colored pants that could have been blue jeans. The man also wore a green- and blue-colored bandana that covered his face below his eyes.
Out here where this happened (about 6 miles from my house) people tend to not think about the potential for bad happening. She probably thought she was helping one of us locals in need. I guess from growing up in the Sheeet hole I grew up in, in the S.F. Bat Area I taught my kids to not stop, and help not unless you knew the person. Highway 104 intersects not far from there. He might have gotten dumped off there and wander down Center. There's a good chance this guy will get caught.
