MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 -Rw3[4>@O"  
p.m. (O+d6oT=Z2  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED G~1;_'  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's <ZSXOh,'  
parents /7 D5I\  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the |s! _;6  
side of aPelt`  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * XA!a^@<H

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called lV^#[%  
#77 Nb$0pc1J<  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull eP]y\S*
P  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an [gBf
1,bK  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind zTcz+3x  
her. !-}Q{<2@W  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was DKt98;  
and &AJ bx  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he #<)[{+f[t  
had 8S#$'2sT  
back up already on the way. ,}IcQu'O

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind A:(|"<lA  
her. /#Pm'i>B  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ^!S4?<v  
behind. 4uiq'-  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man zjr($?  
was M^'1Q.K  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. IRQtA ZV$

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a CBd%}il  
woman ,CyX*k8o  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. &b#d4p6&l  
Apparently 16/ V5  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet Sqn>L`L
z  
place. zU!{_Ao9  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( \
]<R`YMV  
i.e. "y
w{A%J  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did.  9Do75S{(

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little .rk5u4yK  
bit 1TQ?Fxj  
of wonderful information. oUnb-,8n

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed uNn1qV  
that #` 3Q4  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ~Yd[&vpQ  
your n0l|7:Mk  
friends know about #77. hOB<6Tm[

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.
