MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00
"+g9}g  
p.m. #JFTD[1  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED kf8-#Q/
B  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Stkyz:,(  
parents Nm.
H
  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Z-f
Q{&a{  
side of 0Y_?
r$M  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * [<+A?M=

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called Vy:I[@6@+  
#77 Pd<s#  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 'Olp2g8=  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an l$PSID  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind x pWx6  
her. 7S_rN!E1i*  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was )]/gu\90  
and ZH:-.2*cj  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he >VQP,J{  
had ETw7/S${  
back up already on the way. [\ M$a|K

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind mIK-a{?G  
her. )AxgKBW  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car "B~c/%#PH  
behind. Ua>lf8w<  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man 4$);x/ a  
was 0UJ%tPS  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 7*9a`p3w

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a []'gIF  
woman KxZO.>,  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. G% |$3  
Apparently g[]UM;D*  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 8 z) K  
place. q`HuVilNH  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( eF[CiO8F2  
i.e. PJq;OM|  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. Aj854 L(!

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little A{[joo  
bit </UUvMf"  
of wonderful information.  `UC

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed $)1i)/]9U  
that )U? Tmh  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ^Pn XnH?  
your u3"0K['3  
friends know about #77. WF)(Q~op0U

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.
