I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 7<WUjK|
p.m. LujLC&S
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED By@65KmR"
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's m

parents zp8x/,gwF
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the i_N8)Z;r
side of } +Sp7F1q

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 7_ oUuNw
#77 eQuw uT
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ({rcH.:
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an H8w[{'Mei
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind j.] ]VA
her. }Ecv6&G
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ZX&e,X~V
and %WU=Vy 4
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he h.K"v5I*

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a ]8%E'd
woman G AY?F
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. 2+y wy^
Apparently 82,^Pu
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet X[.%[G|oj}
place. >g !Z|ju
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 9 RDs`>v
i.e. =aB+|E
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 'sZGLgT;m
