MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 88wa7i*  
p.m. [FR`Z=%  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED J)p l|I  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's YNsJZnGr8#  
parents -]M5wb2,  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Jij*x>K>y  
side of hZt!/?dc  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 8VXH+5's

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 8&b,qQ~  
#77 )MTO
U47U  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 8[{ Vu0R  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an sdw(R#GE  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind OYn}5RN  
her. j*r{2f4Rt  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was v0.#Sl-  
and yEE*B:  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he c(s.5p ^  
had t'k$&l}+  
back up already on the way. }b.%Im<3R

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind I^$fM
dT  
her. n,WqyNt*  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ]>Es4 s  
behind. bY~pc\V:`w  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man gV_}

was ; kI134i=  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. oe-\ozJ0

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a amY!qg0P*  
woman Qh\60f>0  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. wNdisI  
Apparently f9{Rb/l!BQ  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 4^|3Tn
tO  
place. kc&U'&RgY  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Z4 =GMXj  
i.e. 'm kLCS  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. sD#.Oq4&]y

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little /h|#J  
bit 40m-ch6Q  
of wonderful information. ]Er$*7f

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed -PR N:'T  
that Q*~]h;6\{d  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let {F.[&/A  
your r3UUlR/Do  
friends know about #77. >e$PP8&i_T  
E$p+}sP(C  
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.
