MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 wM^_pah#Y5  
p.m.
B f_oIc  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED y,*>+xk,  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's v GF<  
parents 5G\CT&cQR  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ~[CtsCiQ  
side of &dino  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * wlh V!a0>

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called l[2 d{r  
#77 iZVMDJ?(Z]  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ]vPa A  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an P`^{dH$P  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind mh#dnxeR  
her. n>w/T"  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was  _`bH$  
and b s%lMa.o  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 6G<t1?_yD  
had f4s^$Q{Q  
back up already on the way. 2g6G\F

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind tv)U 7K0  
her. *hT1_  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car \xH#X=J  
behind. MBbycI,  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man Ua@rp3fr  
was r/![ohrEB  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. b,

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 1D0 _k  
woman 9\/T #EP  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Zm:Wig ,a  
Apparently WJ {hta  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet ,u^S(vxyz  
place. l @hXQ/  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( x=>+.'
K  
i.e. Ch1+YZG  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 3q>6gaTv

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little vFK&6 3  
bit $Yr'`(Cbc  
of wonderful information. [Z5Lgg&

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed }@*Me+

#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let R|%R-J]  
your R?Dbv'lp>  
friends know about #77. a:oZ5PX=

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.
