Just thought I'd let you all know that this e-mail was discussed yesterday on BBC Radio Northampton, after someone phoned in to find out if this information was correct. They interviewed a Police spokesman on air who said that the e-mail originated in the USA; that 112 is the INTERNATIONAL emergency number, and should NOT be used in this country. If it IS used, it may eventually put you through to the 999 Emergency Service. In Northamptonshire, there are only 2 unmarked Police Cars with authority to stop a vehicle. Basically, he said that although this is a 'hoax' e-mail, the advice given is very good. If you are asked to stop by what appears to be an unmarked Police Car, and you feel uneasy about it, you can carry on driving until you are in a safe public place. You should also dial 999 and check that it really is a Police Car - they will know immediately if there is one in the area, and will be able to reassure you - or otherwise! So ....... there you go!
