MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 Fv3fad@x  
p.m. m1
(rAr1  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED ]-O:|q>]  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's hWUZn``U$|  
parents EZ$m4:{e  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the A5z `3T;1  
side of SDot0`s>  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ON$u581 y

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 6l50IWj,T  
#77 WUHijHo5(8  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 1|zo-'y  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an [1E u6X6  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 9@!`,Co  
her. SnVnC09y  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ^rx]Y;  
and 'a0$74fz  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he KQEnC`Nz  
had Q4UaqiL
 
back up already on the way. k:c)|2

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind N~a?0x  
her.

One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ?&N JN/+%

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man d`Wd"LJ=

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a S3
&L  
woman <%|2yPb]  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. fHM< 6i<C  
Apparently M*t{?o/t;  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet :HwB+Bjy  
place. :#+VH_%N  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( nlJxF5/  
i.e. |n~-LH++  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. +4)Kc9S#

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little VG)kPKoi  
bit HQ]g{JVld\  
of wonderful information. Q|;8\ 5

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed !"_\5$5i<X  
that Yw./V0Z{@  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let IAg#YFI  
your O7E0{8  
friends know about #77. q),yY]5

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.
