MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 $-pbw@7  
p.m. [Z}B"  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED CUhV$A#oo  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's b&t[S[P.V  
parents NtZ6$o<Y  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Z$2L~j"=!  
side of =Lw3 \5l  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 0^<,(]!

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called Sb<\-O14"  
#77 1MQ/r*(  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull :I

over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an W%8+t)
 
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind kO3`54  
her. H@!#;w  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ,Aa|Bd]b  
and 5Hle-FDn9  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he Wvr+

had <?|6*2_=  
back up already on the way. i:Mc(mW

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind !kh{9I>M  
her. 1i,4".h?M

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man KS! iL=i

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a >(tO QeN  
woman i[=C_+2  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. syFI$rf _  
Apparently DT? m/*  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 9t}xXk  
place. 3}4#I_<$F@  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( FE6C6dW{  
i.e. v72,h  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. [:pl-_.C

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little |Y{
PO&-?r  
bit #<}kISV0  
of wonderful information. <JH9StGGc?

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed {,v: GMsm  
that w a.f![  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let %MNk4UsV  
your 5&%fkZ0  
friends know about #77. RIo'X@zb

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.
