MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 l%w7N9  
p.m. i'5bPW  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED @pS[_!EqYz  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's c//W#V2Q  
parents (/KF;J^M  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the '\_)\`a|  
side of j_H T  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * i{e<kK h

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 33; |52$  
#77 !CMN/=  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull EEo+#  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Y-{spTI  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind x<3vA|o  
her. blPC"3}3Vd  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was l|up3A3)  
and { o;0Fx  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he h">X!I  
had a0LX<}   
back up already on the way. :<(<tz7dj

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind '+QgZ>q

her. ~Igo 8ykl  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car Bpp9I;)c  
behind. (@#Lk"B  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man L"-&B$B:

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 'Qfy+_0  
woman U&/S  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. kg@J.  
Apparently $?GO|.59  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet p

place. T6,lk1S'=  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ~ dk1fh  
i.e. nm~  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. {r}}X@|5

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little >WEg8'#O  
bit c]&VUWQ  
of wonderful information. 7>mYD3

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed *Xnq1_K}  
that e^an` </{  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 5(|ud)v  
your KW

friends know about #77. .R"L$V$RU.

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.
