MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 J(&M<<%  
p.m. ;0Ct\[eh  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED ?r'TH/>  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's nh&J3b}B!  
parents GE8D3V;*V  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the K-Dk2(x  
side of O$u mu_  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * a(43]d&

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called p5# P r  
#77 +yP[(b/  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull -G<2R"Q#N  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an G5nj,$F+  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind cwWSNm|  
her. (zw=qbS&  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was >?{iv1  
and am'p^Z@  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he Zj+}T  
had ;GgQ@s@  
back up already on the way. 3{I=#>;

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ?(NT!es  
her. k q}eUY]  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car mA] 84zO  
behind. SL\y\GaV  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man XAULD]Q  
was q%kj[ZOY$]  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. ND55`KT4

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a o|^?IQ7bpf  
woman lfpt:5a9&  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. WVT5VJ7*  
Apparently Eagmafu  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet pJ$N@ID  
place. tp0!,ne*  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( G_,t\  
i.e. At
[n<8_|  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. w{zJE]7

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little ?Str*XA;  
bit B:A1W{l  
of wonderful information. M\?uDC9

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed Sv~1XL W  
that 6|9g4@Hy  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let :af; yu  
your o~.o^0Y  
friends know about #77. peTO-x^a-

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.
