MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ^^Vg~){4  
p.m. g{LP7D;6  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED MOC/KNb  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's MfkZ  
parents R-14=|7a-  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the =lSNs  
side of &j6erwaT  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * v^PO|Z

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 1mJHued=6  
#77 "jCu6
Rjd  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull d5-qZ{W  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an zeRyL3fnmb  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 3gzXbP,  
her. }2oc#0  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ;a
3}~s  
and 7:~_D7n  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he /@5YW"1  
had hGrdtsH?  
back up already on the way. ('~LMu_

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 2zpr~cB=  
her. |uDdHX8T  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car tp|d*7^i  
behind. V)4J`xg^  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man :KO2| v\  
was 2qp#N%  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. fy$1YI>!Q

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 92{\B- l  
woman R-Sym8c  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. h];I{crh  
Apparently 5-M-X#(  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 8Y?;x}  
place. (sj,[  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( !'Kjx  
i.e. L(\cHb9`  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. /RF

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little (.,G=\!  
bit 7z-[f'EIUI  
of wonderful information. N g,j#  
,?3G;-  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed w =KPT''!  
that T
C"<g  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let >d6|^h'0  
your Ho%CDz z  
friends know about #77. Pz^544\~ou

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.
