MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 d!46`b$rd  
p.m. $)nP
j_h  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED +_kA&Q(t  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 0y t36Du  
parents spTz}p^\O  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the X-X`Z`o  
side of Qv`: E   
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 5JEOLPS

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called J[0

5T1  
#77 JS/ChoU  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull =)G]\W)m  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an HI{h>g T  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind \#]C !JQ  
her. 6"+9$nFyW  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was <Y6zJ#BD  
and ]R>NmjAI  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he ,(-V<>/*.|  
had h-|IZ}F7  
back up already on the way.  4Y}Nu

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 7M _ mR Vh  
her. xY/F)JOeG  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car EJ>rW(s  
behind. R?;mu^B  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man "G~!J

was ,(Ol]W}  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. B'Jf&v

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a |x.^rx`  
woman &ds+9A  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. #t;]s<  
Apparently H2H[DVKv  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet kI9I{ &J&  
place. O9zMD8  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Rnoz[1y?0  
i.e. IU5T5p  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. !H@HgJ -

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little V9SL96'[I  
bit `"}).{N]C  
of wonderful information. ';Q8x?BS  
, *dLE   
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 1pg#@h[|t  
that W!R0:-  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let |/H?\]7  
your 5jso)`I L  
friends know about #77. |O6/p7+.

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.
