MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 |Wck-+}U  
p.m. Ok)f5")N %  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED %OHWGac"i  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's I+W,%)vb  
parents /T {R\  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the N!<l~[rc  
side of Ki:t!vAO  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * `K@N\V M

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called {4SaSv^/  
#77 Y5ei:r|^  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull tUJe-3,  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an @N[<<k7g  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind _d7;Z%  
her. <#"_Qgdix  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was BE&8E\w  
and h 8M_Uk  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 6b2h\+AP  
had HD{u
#~8{  
back up already on the way. 1NZp

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind IDF0nx]  
her. F5H*z\/={  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car v; ewMiK@E  
behind. "+{2!  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man R$IsP,Uw  
was )gU:Up24|"

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a rFt+Y})  
woman !"/"Mqs3$  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. }jce5E  
Apparently CUc ,  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet "WmsBdO  
place. Lwm /[  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Wn=I[K&&  
i.e. v5 p`=Z@%  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. je#LD

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little `'r~3kP*NT  
bit 1x / R  
of wonderful information. p]~PyzG!

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed k[pk R{e  
that "g"%7jK  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let i&m6;>?`  
your !.iFU+?V  
friends know about #77. 3qu?q D

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