OK Highway Patrol Captain George Brown says the best “tip” for women to not get raped by a cop is to “follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over.” http://youtu.be/BO8g8akPWcY (Last third of the video).

Three serial rapists in 3 weeks arrested in Oklahoma, all cops.

I know that sounds dumb, but hear me out. My mother is a dispatcher for the local police station. I asked her about how to pull over for a cop and even brought up the use of hazard lights, and she told me that it is not always accepted. This is what she told me you can do in order to feel safe when pulling over:

Call the police. No, really. Call and tell the dispatcher where you are and that there is a cop behind you demanding you pull over. The dispatcher can and will stay on the line with you while they look up the area you’re in to see if it’s one of their station’s cops. Then, once the cop comes to your window, you can crack it open (it only has to be an inch!) while still on the phone with the dispatcher. This is definitely, 100% accepted protocol.

The dispatcher will verify that it is their own, real cop, and they will gladly stay on the line with you throughout your interaction with the officer. And God forbid this ever happens to any of you, but if something were to happen to you during this time, you’ve already contacted 911 and given your location to the dispatcher.

Please keep this in mind if you are ever requested to pull over and do not feel safe. The dispatcher will understand. Do not, however, continue to drive, because there might be the off-chance an officer will think you’re flat-out refusing to pull over (a well-lit, populated area might be a ways away).

I put on my hazards and called dispatch when a cop tried to pull me over for no clear reason late at night on a narrow road in the middle of the woods

I explained to dispatch that i felt it was unsafe for myself and the cop for me to pull over because there was no shoulder to pull over to and he could get hit by a car coming the other way if he came up to my window, but the road widened considerably abd was better lit about a mile ahead, so i told the dispatcher that i was going to go straight until there was space

She told me to keep going but not to pull over

Turns out the car pulling me over wasnt a cop

Whoever it was got spooked and sped off once dispatch told me to turn into the parking lot of a 24 hour gas station where there were security cameras and witnesses, but they still sent a real cop to meet me in the well lit gas station and follow me home, just in case
