MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 mq`5w)S)\o  
p.m. SL*DK.  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED $y6rvQ 2>S  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 5!:._TcO  
parents *98Ti|  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the sQ(1/"gb  
side of YeIe\3x!N  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * j6X LyeG7

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called QV)}3pW  
#77 n2na9dX)w  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 7&t~R}&|  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an
T{ nQjYb?  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind xT+ ;w[s  
her. 3LfTGO  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was UT-ewXh  
and XIN5a~[z*  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he B/u*<k4  
had FH -p!4+]  
back up already on the way. 7ti<

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 8dV=1O$/  
her. M7U:g}  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car oQBiPN+v.3  
behind. IuKnM`X  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man m3%

was QJM(UfHUD  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. nL\ZId

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a vcOsq#UW  
woman zg0%>iqO  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. z[FI2jl  
Apparently 77_g}N  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet fB[\("+  
place. T+BIy|O  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 0Q*-g}wXfS  
i.e. ,# iZS&  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. NV(fN-L

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little $:]tcY-L9  
bit b60[({A\s&  
of wonderful information. BGA%"b

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed RR'(9QJ$  
that 6 <r2*`  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let "0<Sd?Sz  
your .r

friends know about #77. \vs%U}IrO

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.
