MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 /
iNCb&[  
p.m. 7Q} P}9n  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED JAen=%2b  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's I-4csw<Qy  
parents  yInW?3  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ^~|P[}  
side of Bm"jf]  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * S0 M-$  
$I~=t{;"XV

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called S1wt>}w0$  
#77 N%/Q c hu  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 2pH2s\r<UJ  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an j/wG0~<kz  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 25*/]iu  
her. d

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ;%odN d  
and e`'O!  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 7*d}6\ %  
had 5 |{0|mP  
back up already on the way. P~iu|j

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ,\4@Ao  
her. j% !   
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car #Qc[W +%  
behind. Jz 'm&mu  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man 0@{K'm/  
was O[3J Px  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. SQWwxFJ

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a T Ll*gED  
woman Fe%Q8RIh_  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. `Z>4}<~+  
Apparently rPkV=9ull,  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet /!oi`8D  
place. A!H6$-W|p  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( }k7@ X  
i.e. Pe!uk4}
w  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. YN9ug3O+

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little IfeG"ua|  
bit -#j-Zo+<  
of wonderful information. -7TT6+H)

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed _;W}_p}q{  
that SC74r?NFA  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 1wuLw Ad  
your G+ Y`65  
friends know about #77. F

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.
