I was reading the Charoltte Observer and thought the following  information was

important enough to pass along. Realtors are in the car most of their lives and safety

should be very important. Read these Tips:

*Turn on your hazard lighs to let the police officer know you’re aware he or she is

    trying to stop you.

*Stop in a well-lit area, especially at night, in a place where other people are around.

*Call 911 and give the dispatcher your location if you think the officer has stopped

    you without reason.

*Keep your door locked and roll down your window only enought so you can

   communicate with the officer.

*ask for identification, even if the officer is wearing sooomething that says “police”

   or “sheriff” on it.

*Don’t get out of your vehicle unless you’re sure the person is a legitimate officer.

*Ask to see the police supervisor on scene or drive to the nearest division office

   after the stop.

*If you think you were treated inappropriately contact  The Raleigh Police

   Internal Affairs at 919-890-03335.
