MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 fCF93,?$  
p.m. U 1&m-K  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED Mv;7kC7]  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's thq(tK7  
parents pWQ?pTh  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the .UJDn^@  
side of ?EtK/6dJZt  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ~w!<J-z)

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called kszY bz"  
#77
A>'o5+  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull NVOY,g=3X  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 
ixU1v~T  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 4ci @$nL1  
her. g/T`4"p[H  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 46$5f?Z  
and >+G=

there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he t(s']r  
had @s@r5uR9B  
back up already on the way. `@Qq<T}V

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind Pu}2%P)p  
her. ^LnCxA&QH  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car r?[Zf2&  
behind. ,>e<mphM  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man jI y'mGaG  
was vmk c]DC  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. W}T$Z

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a #&$4tTl  
woman (s\Nm_j  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. *VL-b8'A<  
Apparently xOEj+ %M  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet b ~F85U2  
place. %3 ~jg  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( -o=qYkyLK  
i.e. s3t{freM  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. :@n e29,}

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little T@f$w/15  
bit \bfNki  
of wonderful information. iXXgPapz

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed gIT"nG=a4  
that .+ _x|?'  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let B?Pu0 _|s

friends know about #77. %)]{*#N4

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.
