Thanks Brian, I will let those I know in on that partcular function of cell
phones...

  On a side note, some years back, there was a fella here in OKC that had an
unmarked car, and this is the way that he roped in his victims...  If you
ever watch that stupid fuck of a former policeman on Wildest Police Videos
or some shit, they showed an incident where a woman was pulled over by a cop
and she did not comply for this very reason.  She tried to explain to the
cop that the news had explained that single women should not pull over for
unmarked cars and why and the cop did not care one bit.  She was handcuffed
and taken away, by an actual officer luckily.  HOWEVER, Captain Courage
prattled on about how any time you ignore the law, you are going to pay.  He
and the patrolman both obviously had no fucking idea what they were talking
about...

Sorry to vent/rant on half a tangent, but that mother-fucker pisses me off
with his half-truth brand of 'entertainment'.

David
