MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 d/!sHr69  
p.m. :WIbjI=  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED T8h.!Vef  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's S5*wUd*p#  
parents O&.^67\|  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the :~3sW< PR  
side of dd>|1'-]  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * <mjH#aSy

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called O@{ JB  
#77 VI,z7 \  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull {" ;5n7<<)  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Z#BwJHh  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind y:WRpCZoa  
her. %H75u

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 6^F"np{w  
and B(wk $2  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he JP)/ O!  
had &Y%Kr`.h  
back up already on the way. #Z;ziM:

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind \j !JRD+j  
her. -sm{Hpf_b  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car s\_-` [B0  
behind. W?mn8Y;{`  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man .\= GfF'  
was 58,_  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. gRIRc4p

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a *M\Qt
_[  
woman M7^PWC  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. ;ob-'  
Apparently hSS
F
]  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet JM!rop^  
place. Ap9CQ h=!  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( WY_}D!O  
i.e. GzWmXm  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. x.qn$?3V]

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little LH@)((bi4v  
bit XL c&7  
of wonderful information. ;29q  
1fM=>Z  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed ;ZPAnd:pb  
that $'btfo4H  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let `~vqu69MF9  
your "2;$?*hO#  
friends know about #77. &>\E >mJ  
b)J(0,9`G"  
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.
