MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 'n.eCdj  
p.m. m=NX;t  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED )Hlr 09t=]  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's /2?GRwU~P  
parents 59T:{d;~  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the &g@?{5FP  
side of 0VsrAV0  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 18c i-W#p

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called GXRK+RHuBi  
#77 {My/+{eS!?  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull bEy j8=P;  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an &sWqSS  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind |$9k z31  
her. S <|e/![@  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ;U}lh~e11  
and S|!U=&  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he ]rHdG^0uss  
had t91v%L   
back up already on the way. cKK 1$x

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind pU`Q[HOs  
her. 'ei9* 4y  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car )BS./zD*[<  
behind. }L@!TWR-Qu  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man ga~rllm;i  
was 3=5+NJ'8  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. ?exV:OKLb

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a ]eP&r?B  
woman @oug^]a  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. 3Xf}vdgdM$

place. ; >.>vLF  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( vVZ@/D6w  
i.e. |'mgo  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. x8gUP

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little c<-_Vh.:5  
bit `N8A{8$qv  
of wonderful information. OYNs1yB

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed UG48g}  
that a{69JY5  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let Eh0R0;l5>  
your i~.L{

friends know about #77. i+T$&$b

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.
