Re: Odd Police Encounter

The sort of thing is why I have taught my wife and son to always call 911 if there is anything at all "weird" about any car attempting to pull them over. All unmarked police cars are automatically weird. Sure enough it paid off.

An unmarked car (in very nice condition with appropriate grill and dash lights) attempted to pull my son over after tailgating him on I35E in Dallas. He dials 911 and they confirm it is NOT one of theirs. They sent several cars in his direction trying to catch the bad guy. My son got the plates and they come back belonging to corporate van. The plates had been stolen. Most likely it was an attempted car jacking. The guy took off after my son dialed 911 (probably saw him picking up the phone).

The process I taught them, maintain appropriate speed, lock the doors, put on hazards (to recognize the attempted stop) and dial 911. Do not stop until the 911 dispatcher confirms the pull over is legit.
