RCMP Warning Hoax – No Headlights Gang Initiation Myth

Email forward, supposedly from the RCMP, warns about a gang initiation that involves shooting at drivers who flash or signal a gang member driving without headlights ( Full commentary below ).

Subject: RCMP WarningPlease pass this on! Important police warning. Very scary. Started in Manitoba… now in Saskatchewan… now moving west. Police Warning – For Your Information: This is an extremely serious matter. If you are driving after dark and you see a car without its head-lights on, DO NOT flash your lights, DO NOT blow your horn or make ANY signals to the driver of the other car. There is a new common gang initiation ‘game’ going on the streets. The new member being initiated drives along without his headlights on until someone notices and flashes their headlights or makes some sort of other action to signal him. The gang member is now required to chase the car and shoot at or into the car in order to complete his initiation requirements.

This is a DEADLY game with us innocent the one to pay the price.

Make sure you share this information with your family, friends, and anyone else you can reach. If you have any questions or information,please call your local police department. Please take this seriously. This is not a joke.

Please pass this on to everyone you know on e-mail and in person.

It could save someone’s life, if not your own.
