MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 2i!R>`  
p.m. 2& Hl wpx  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED UdkNb}L  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ]wV\=m?z&  
parents 0K.$C~C  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ~l'[P=R+8  
side of {`2 0'  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * @(a~p  
"7+^`?

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called m
D +9/O!  
#77 ( zm!_~1  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull
$aTo9{M^  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an / rD9)
 
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind st"@kHQ3  
her. 4%nK0FAj  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 9<CUm"%J  
and 0K^@P#{hd  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he `O3#/1+  
had ~P,Z@|c4  
back up already on the way. Fczia0@z

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind oSMIWwg7G  
her. [*)2Ou  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car K ~\b+  
behind. #oEtLb@O  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man jzDPn<WQ  
was LL3| U  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. !?i9fYu

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a ~8k`~t!

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. aRWj+[[7y  
Apparently jK6dI 7h  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet Dy. |bUB!f  
place. rS\mFt X  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( L67yL( d6a  
i.e. S?v;+3TG  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. X%*BiI

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little O&.gc p!  
bit 
ri"=)]  
of wonderful information. u^ wGV g

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed -t`KCf,0  
that 2V9"{F?  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let GF<SQHL,  
your 'g)5vI~'  
friends know about #77. 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.
