MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 3 . @W.GG8  
p.m. u3q!te  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED ),n?"  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's >0>M@s  
parents sbRg=k&Ns  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the TGg*(6'z  
side of rh+OgKi  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * Ws=

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called (T@ov~@  
#77 X:DHz0S  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull D%Wr/6X  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an A2B&X}K|U  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind *e^ZH  
her. iVFnt!  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was % R'eV<  
and  bBZvL  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he ]xuq2MU,l  
had j"f]pzg&  
back up already on the way. {#7t(:x

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind XOxm<3gXn  
her. .AKx8=f  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car U-k6ZV3&8  
behind. C?zC

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man %o5GD  
was X[VQ 1  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. y&iLhd!p

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a )sW1a  
woman fd(>[RP?  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. }!2|*Y  
Apparently 1[!Idl?m  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet BYu|loc  
place. LG;xZQx'  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( \PL92HV  
i.e. BKN]DxJ6  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. ?g9Ce eH*

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little &vLZj  
bit ~!UxmYgO  
of wonderful information. R(csJ4F

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed K\ZKVn
  
that b+{,c@1rd  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 1 }:k w  
your Bs^W0K$uBO  
friends know about #77. 2(UT;PSI

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.
