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 THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER 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 used. Please be safe.
Get
started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO
BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A
VICTIM.
WARNING # 2
Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the 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 herand 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 called112 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.
This applies to ALL 50 states
