In answer to a question from VillagePRESS, the NZ police reports:
"Police" message passed on
from friend to friend with good intention
is a HOAX
We are aware of a hoax email warning drivers not to flash
headlights at cars driving at night without headlights on. This hoax has been
circulating internationally for many years and is listed on several websites
cataloguing hoax emails.
We advise recipients of the hoax email to ignore it and delete it without
forwarding it on.
Our apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

THIS IS A HOAX |
|
Police officers working with the D.A.R.E program have issued
this Warning:
If you are driving after dark and see and on-coming car with no headlights
on,
DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM!
This is a common Bloods member "initiation game" that goes like this:
The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and
the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target.". He is
now required to turn around and chase that car, then shoot and kill every
individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements.
Police Depts across the nation are being warned. Their intent is to have all
the "new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with
their headlights off.
In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all
individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that
their lights are off. Make sure you share this information with all the
drivers in your family!
Please forward this message to all your friends and family
