MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 );TB(PQsBT  
p.m. km5gO|V>m  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 8IWT;%  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's fp\mBe
i  
parents +l/kH9m  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the y=f.;  
side of R@5eHP^  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 9

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called WN%,  
#77 ub9[!}r't  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull EA1&D^nT  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an <T)0I1S  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind C;/ONF   
her. 4g2`[<S  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was &{glwVKV  
and Mt`LOdiC_  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he $6J22m!S4n  
had 1y6<gptx  
back up already on the way. "eOl(TSu/

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind )4s7,R  
her. }vOg9/[{  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car [A{o"zY  
behind. 50Gu~No6  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man ohyq/u+y~A  
was *y7Yf7

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a f QU_:[ Uz  
woman )m8Gbkj<  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. )B&`<1Oie  
Apparently X"`[&l1  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet SFtcO  
place. wme#8/eUk  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 9W\"A$;+&  
i.e. gg^iYTpt  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. t\ z@k9

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little /ar0K9`c  
bit .o]I^3tfc  
of wonderful information. =-/'$7R,

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed cC/32SmY4  
that H Q[  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ,xrA2  
your I0Allw[  
friends know about #77. B6TE9IoSb8

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.
