MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 6DTTV66  
p.m. ] W y)  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED RrZM&lXY  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's C;+(Zp  
parents 0-Y:v(|.  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the *.- .iY.a]  
side of ^)!F9h+  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * O=cxNy-I

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called `^JJ&)4iv  
#77 8M,9kXq{L  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull Qp,DL@mp>8  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an EI>6Nh  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Gl %3XdU  
her. cLa]D[H  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was '7Nr8D4L  
and 9h90huyKF  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 5wao1sd#  
had '+>fFM,*B  
back up already on the way. B5V_e!*5F*

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 7M_U2cd|TD  
her. JG[o"&Sd
 
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car O`GsS{$sS  
behind. /I5X"x
 
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man _m vxsG  
was s&kQlQ=  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. n6d9\

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a kv,%(en]  
woman <:FP4e "(  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. @oF$LMD  
Apparently )5j;KI%t  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet \6?A!w~6  
place. j:T/iH!YF  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (
*_Z#O,  
i.e. `O?TUQGR  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. lE8&..~l$+

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little s`j~-P  
bit G|w= ez  
of wonderful information. _-!sBK+F

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed PP~rn fE  
that /v|"0  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let `i) 2 nNJ"  
your an
w}w!@U  
friends know about #77. LH 3}d<{

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.
