MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 g/C 7wc  
p.m. 3X(^`lAf)  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED _-fLD  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's !IOmJpl'  
parents }4>u_)nt  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the 3.YH7rN  
side of :Pq&l.  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 4PVg?

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called n@`3O'S  
#77 "22./vWV|i  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull U
)kyq  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an `)a|Q  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind d_ =K (}eR  
her. .!~ysy  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was TzC(YWt  
and SLuQv?R}9  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he .45wwouZkc  
had cPtDIc,  
back up already on the way. K 21Xx`XK

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ),{3LIr  
her. ZTTA??}Y  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car W,~*pyLdO  
behind. ;d<XcpK}  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man L~ax`i1:"  
was *{?2M6Z  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. "dCIg{j

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a E{6ku=2F  
woman 9-n]_AF`0  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. .g/!u(iy  
Apparently HZ<#H3_ix  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet >*!T`P}p  
place. +_:p8, 5o  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( rX$-K\4W  
i.e. ?e-rwaW  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. ^RnQX#+

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little 5V<6_o  
bit >> cW0I/`  
of wonderful information.

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed q[/g3D\G  
that u0R[TA3  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let pJg:afCg  
your 6No.2Oo  
friends know about #77. %;4#?.W8

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.
