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.

don't break the law.. problem solved
112 is not always reliable USE 911
In Maryland it is #77
4:11 Apparently you didn't read the article. This was one smart (and innocent) girl that saved her own life.
Don't break the law?? She didn't! ! A convicted rapist tried to pull her over to tape her, you know FAKE COP#! WTF are you smoking braindead??
That stops someone impersonating a police officer, how?
4 11 try getting your glasses on. she did not break the law guy pulled up and tried to get her too pull over thanks for info joe
Anon 4:11 you complete missed the point. This young lady wasn't breaking the law. The unmarked car was a fraud. Wake up.
4:11, are you a moron ? do understand the point of the story ?
If it's an imposter you don't have to break the law for them to want their way with you....must be another ldiot with no common sense!
Should have read the complete article, 4:11 pm.
I think it would be impossible to be a good cop these days. If I was a cop I would do anything zero. Oh wait, I am and I don't. Lol
4:11 must be an Obama voter.
Unmarked patrol cars should be banned from traffic stops unless it's an immediate danger such as an obvious drunk driver. But then I guess it'll be the new main excuse.
Carry a gun, end of problem.
Do you check your lights every time you get in your car?
Do you think Obama likes law enforcement? I'm not understanding your comment. Maybe you are drunk. My personal opionin should be no law enforcement. Do what you want take what you want.
Ban law enforcement TOTATLLY. Who needs them. Apparently we don't.
Damn right. I've been in and out of jail my whole life. Finally we got a president who understands it's time to take the streets back. Trust me I've learned a thing or two in my cells.
Cops like mustangs? I'm a felon and still carry bc police can't search me anymore thanks to the riots.
Everyone knows if your a female you don't stop for the police. However it's totally ok to post your picture and personal information on all social media for the entire world to see very safe. Especially when your doing time line and locations. Just never pull over for the police while texting use your app instead.
It sickens me to know that you love cops that much. Wiping cop from your chin and forgot to read the article? So many people here that are just like you. It's not all the blacks fault, the Mexicans or Obama our country is like it is. It's is years of ignorant people like the ones here on the shore, allowing our country to become what it is.
Memo: In case you haven't heard of it there is an emergency number that you should really use, it's called 911.
That Mustang does make for a cool police car.
The proposed curfew has not addressed the unmarked car issue.All of the great big meetings about it and no one has mentioned what a kid is supposed to do when approached by an unmarked police car.Ponder that for a while and ask who in our local government will claim responsibility for an abducted child.Unmarked civilian cars in and going through Salisbury outnumber unmarked and marked police cruisers 1000 to one at the very least.
Way smarter to look up your app and use it. Then tweet bikini selfie. Twitter is very safe. No stranger danger
(The phone number 112 is used as a global emergency phone number in a number of countries, primarily in the European Union. In some parts of the United States a call to 112 will roll over to the local 911 system, but since 112 is not implemented as a universal emergency number in the U.S., calling 911 directly is the better option
