MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ^1X nnQa  
p.m. &>XSQB(&%  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 4*Z>-<W=  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 7[8d-Sf24{  
parents fjS#  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the x!UGLL]_M  
side of 5~"m$/yE  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 8+~'T|

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called r4 ;nkx  
#77 QW&@>i  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ?<soX8_1  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an D+*_iM6[-  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind N ^H H&~V  
her. > !WFY  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was r7v1q  
and M5+K[Ir/y9  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 2O`s'&.h  
had b>|d Q  
back up already on the way. (@xr/9:i

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind q?#w%0}  
her. {|tMN,Z  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car vFK(Dx  
behind. T2 V(P>E  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man 5I5#LQv0  
was Gdlx0i

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a AaJz3oncJ  
woman u~2
7\oj,  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. aMyf

Apparently QC+BEN$  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 8uB6C0,6?  
place. d C6t+  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( _i0,?U2C  
i.e. h8HA^><Xr  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. E D_J8+

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little \p!mX|  
bit Yk5Cyq  
of wonderful information. ra{HlB{

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 2}.EFQp+  
that {^Q1b.=  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let @3 4CaZ$k  
your /x&52~X5-  
friends know about #77. AHTQF#U^

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.
