MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 `6Ureui2?  
p.m. ls"b#eFC#  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED @7
@e`b?  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's S5~`T7Ra  
parents 8:HSPDU.  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the h L]8e>a?  
side of R:w%2Y  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. *

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called K85_>C%g  
#77 psIkG0 &  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull b/sOfQ  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an cy)k<?,  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind &Y,Q >bu  
her. {sC@N

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was :[Qp2Gg O\  
and / R_ u\?k(  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he |N:MZ#};  
had x .b; +p}=  
back up already on the way. (Sth:{;

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 4}Q O!(

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Fweh =v  
woman &/](HLdF  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. }RcK_w@Jx)  
Apparently $gV

police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 8[{|xh(  
place. \!^i;1h0c3  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( )A="eW_>  
i.e. #)GW}U]X  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. uR#'lb`3

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little la'e[t7  
bit @Ex;9F,Q  
of wonderful information. + D:83h{

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed L5Urg*GNL  
that 2)wAFO6u  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let S dIGU[fm  
your 8f?rEI\0GD  
friends know about #77.  ,b4):{

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.
