MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 aGzdur  
p.m. ah&plaVzC  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED _`Yvfz3  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's R~seUW7uv"  
parents 80l3.z,:  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the N%M>,wT  
side of s'fc Ah,c6  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * (w7cdqe

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called #D*J5k>2  
#77 F" #3 s=  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull e[VJ0 A=  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an uvK%d\d  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind L^ jC& dF  
her. N4GIb 6  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was {u[K ^G  
and 9Av- ;!]  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he /EAQ.vxI  
had .AQ3zpy5B  
back up already on the way. AQBx k[

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind l.W1$g  
her. 1wH/#K  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car =w>>7u$4  
behind. ` a<|CcUGU  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man t BXsWY{  
was B#V4  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. URzE+8m^

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. [2fiHE  
Apparently n*8RYm)?  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet q'8@ 0FT0  
place. V~^6 TS(  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 4>ce,*B1  
i.e. ^{]sD}Q"  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. !E.lyz

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little `5 v51TpH  
bit d-S'y-V?d  
of wonderful information. ~>-;(YU"t

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed PFn[[~5V  
that MH~qfH>K  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let }Us
$y0W\  
your :@4>}k*  
friends know about #77. 4>tYMyLt0

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.
