[nfb-talk] FW: 112 - Very Important About Unmarked Police

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

While it might be nice if this were true it appears from the following pages 
of interest that the only thing true that can be taken from this is that 
"sometimes wood-be rapists will play themselves off as police officers." and 
that the number 112 is used as an emergency number in the Uk. the following 
pages are interesting reading to debunk this internet legend.
