MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 D(M^%z2N  
p.m. R9%"Kxm  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED ]U5/!e  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's C0'_bTfB
 
parents $eh>.c'&]  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the E^V4O l<  
side of :z+l=d:4  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * :"Kr-Hm`

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called Gv6#LcF#  
#77 ,}$[;$ye  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull /U"3LX  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an h) W|~y@  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Iz I hC  
her. lkgB,cflpi  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was Yfx'7gj  
and Us8nOr>5  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he DgC;1U'  
had \v([,tiW%  
back up already on the way. 93y

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind O@,9a~Ghd  
her. p}-B>v  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car @%$<,$=  
behind. (rjv3=9\3  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man MrpT5|t  
was

a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 7By&cdl

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a }<G#bh6;Q  
woman |&rxDf}W  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Uj>bWa`  
Apparently rFYw6&;vOi  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet IVSd,AR7yY  
place. AJ85[~(lX  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Z`kI6  
i.e. %
ZJ;>a#  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. hN.{H:skL)

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bF? {  
bit <qCfw>%2F  
of wonderful information. CYN|

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed ~_"/\;

that 0uf)6(f  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let z4*`K4W  
your Cb;49;q  
friends know about #77. xX{gm'3UYa

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.
