MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 /K^cU;E,  
p.m. #RF=a7&F  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED >=V+X"\Z  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 8VZ-`?p  
parents 4(R2V]  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the xYT.J 6  
side of x3Ud0[(  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * +[ItkfSod!

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called e0L;V@R  
#77 #-;BU{3*  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull tX
251S  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an '!R,)5l0h  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind L9T u
>4  
her. x}{VHp`|ld  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was _#C}hwOR>X  
and Pio^5jhB6  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he fDd!Mt  
had AJT0)FCpR  
back up already on the way. -?W@-*J

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind |

her. aM~f Rra7  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car sYXS#;|M  
behind. 4i,SiFKB  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man W%1S:2+Kl  
was lQ/XJw  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. #lF<="y%X

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a +HX'AC  
woman i.sq ^]j  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. }kj6hnQ  
Apparently lIz_0rE  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 0R& U18)y  
place. ^NDX4d;  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 9^u?v`!  
i.e. =FmU]DV  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. `xUPML-

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little 'l|_$3  
bit /<0D E22  
of wonderful information. N-gRfra+8L

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed  qR qy  
that [f p"MPP3  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let $1+K}tP  
your `dP+5u!  
friends know about #77. vgj^-

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.

Thank you lili, this is very useful information.

Will pass it around.
