MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 %w"nDu2Gcv  
p.m. 1~5trsB+5  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED g`,AaWlF  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's \cySWP [  
parents +]!lS7nsW  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the y{ =NP  
side of :pC;`iQ  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ;#anZC;

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called h/ep`-YaH  
#77 zQ8!rCkg4  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull Kn}ub+
"J  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an vzR =>0#  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind  t@B(+
 
her. Nw<P bklz  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was %5B%KCCN  
and Dgi~rr1`'s  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he vA&Vu"}S  
had Zz"}Cz:bX  
back up already on the way. ,

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind >)4YP*qIPb  
her. #Ob]]!y  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car &=q! Wdw~  
behind. mN}7H:,  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man v%91k  
was IB$7`7  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. W)=%mdxW0

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a tJZc/]%`H  
woman h%}(h2W  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. T0e<Slo~C  
Apparently p+w8$8)  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet < K%j  
place. $&{IKP)u  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( O.+9,4A(  
i.e. rU\[SrIhz  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. tL(BpL'

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little
O6c\KFBSJ  
bit SgM.B  
of wonderful information. ?b:_AO&

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed >- Bg%J9  
that *e4TSqC|  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let $:vkX   
your ClUSrSp  
friends know about #77. 9]yW_]P

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.
