MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 S`w_q=-^8  
p.m. cu|S|]g  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED LvM;ZfAEv  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's [<0\v<{`L  
parents r0Cc0TMdj  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the th :I31  
side of #.j[iN :+  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * b '9L}q2m

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 1J{1>r  
#77 #E'aa'P}  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull &gv{LJd5b  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an ^i;y2c  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind v,eTDgw  
her. J 7/)XS  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was  b' 5]o  
and 7RpAsLH=  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he isF jJPe

back up already on the way. -O~V4004

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind =cP7"\  
her. @nNhW  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car iHYvH   
behind. ~ZxFL$<'3  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man Id(wY$C&>  
was <w1# 3Mu'  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. Sd9%tO9mf

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a pBR9)T\n  
woman 7^hwRZJ{  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. r.~^h^c]  
Apparently C@P4}X0,=  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet fR^ aFT  
place. g!![%*' b  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( bP+b~

i.e. s{Wj&.)M  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. =Rw-@*#l

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little {hRM=f7  
bit PV(TDb:0  
of wonderful information. .[Hv/?L

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed $~G=Hcl9  
that qX_( M2oLU  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let `@tnEg  
your IncHY?ud<  
friends know about #77. +G.F'

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.

Will pass it around.

Thank you lili, this is very useful information.
