Dialing 112 on cell phone

A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MICHIGAN


SITUATION
While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check.... "There are several things to be aware of ... Gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car. "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it....waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby. "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK YOUR CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPERS AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY, AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.

THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT." Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic being used. Please be safe.

WARNING # 3:
Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 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 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 P hone 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 " This applies to ALL 50 states .




You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life.

Have a read. Not new.

My granddaughter happened to be walking by as I pulled this up. She's going away to college in a year and a half. Made her sit down and read this.

True or false, makes no difference--[b:4c955e7e1e]It could happen![/b:4c955e7e1e]

Thanks for the message, makes one stop and think.

112 is the emergency number for many European companies, but not in the U.S. In some areas it will roll over to 911, but not in all, stick to dialing 911.

Why do insist on propagating an obvious hoax?

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette may be an idiot, but he's not functionally illiterate, as is the author of this hoax.

Well around here a red light on the dash probably means it a volunteer fireman and he's probably trying to get the the station to get a truck or to a fire quickly. While legally you don't have to yield for a personal vehicle with the light (you do for a firetruck) you might exercise courtesy and slow to allow them to pass or speed up to get out of their way--just do so safely. Legally they don't have the right to speed either but again if done so safely they probably will not get a ticket if pulled over and explain the situation.

As noted 911 for emergencies in the US.

And the baby seat--oh that's done all the time but nobody is found in the woods robbed and beaten. They wake up in a seedy motel in a bathtub full of ice with their side crudely sown up and a note saying thanks for the kidney. Hey, it could happen--warn everyone.

1. Most gang rapes are not planned with bait set out. They are for the most parts crimes of opportunity that occurred during a robbery or mugging.

2. They have in the past told motorist of a suspected fake cop messing with people or worse and sense the age of cell phones have always told people if in doubt trun on 4 way flashers and drive slowly to a populated/well lit populated area before stopping. If a cell phone is available call 911 while doing so, just 911.

Lot of garbage on the intrenet. For some reason they think it's funny to dupe people into falling for these so call pranks.
