本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I never even knew about this #77 feature!
This actually happened to one of my dearest friend's daughter. Her daughter, Lauren, is 19 yrs old and in college. This happened to her over the Christmas/New Year's holiday break. It was the Saturday before New Year's and it was about 1 PM in the afternoon. Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. My friend and her husband have 4 children (high school and college 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 gas station, etc. So Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called #77 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 wad 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 min 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. Thank Goodness Lauren listened to her parents! She was shaken up, but fine. 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 in a secluded area. In fact, even a marked car after dark should follow you to a populated
area. 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 #77 like Lauren did. Be safe and pass this on to your friends. Awareness is everything.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
