MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 85$m[+md  
p.m. {X+3;&@  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 6r0krbN  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's iRbT/cc{  
parents K(rWNO  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the KeB"D!={;  
side of 6dt]`zv/  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * n1t*sk/J

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called CS5?Ti6  
#77 %6,SKg p  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull BwGfTua  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an '~<m~UXvD#  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind qvsd5PeCO  
her. =l;ewlU  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 81F/G5  
and (!aNq(   
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he X1|njJGO1  
had LV

back up already on the way. drP=A~?&:

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind U^%Q}'UYym  
her. m+R[#GE8#  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car Jy:

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man rig,mv

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a QB uMJm

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. =pO^7g  
Apparently ^7U G$A  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet $\BE&4g  
place. m|n%$$S&  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( <n];mfh1  
i.e. ]EBxl=C}D  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. cWaSn7p!X

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little =E4LRKn

of wonderful information. g"DG]/ev

#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let Qf+\;@  
your 4<Utmr
