MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 puT'y  
p.m. UT="2*3gz  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED \rPbK+G.  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's
N<DGw?Rl  
parents n[(Qr9  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Afk$?wkL  
side of '? jlH0;  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * m>SErxU(z

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called rSrIEP,c'  
#77 S6[v;{xJ  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull WVLHfkN  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Uo2GK3nT  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind EAeqLtFqs  
her. tY <Z'xA?  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was
@_z4tUP  
and t:fFU
1x  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he <jed!x  
had Qqlup  
back up already on the way. fNrgdfo

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind H8"@iE,  
her. ;D$)P7k6  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car /JT#^Y  
behind. 3N_"rNKD  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man D1&A,2wO  
was @/k@WhFZ  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. a+Ac[>

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a S%`0'lzzj  
woman 'R_g">B.  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. im @h -A]0  
Apparently gynh#&r  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet hqRw^2

place. yBI'djL~>
 
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( <ZB1Vi9}8  
i.e. be +4junf  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. GQ |Mr{.;

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little \G-KplKS

of wonderful information. 5<w g8y

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed k?'B*L_Mzv  
that h9eMcCU  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let :^(>YAyHj^  
your 4rrSb*
  
friends know about #77. -{ZWo:,r~q

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.
