MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 SmP&wNHQf  
p.m. 2;SiH]HNS  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED =#I/x=
L:  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's kKVNE hTp  
parents *APTgXYR  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ph7]*W-  
side of E@@XWU21;N  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * qHYoQ.ke

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called hus9Zv4  
#77 f F9=zrW  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull -zm-|6[Wi  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an l8DZ2cw]  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Ez^wK~  
her. NF*Z<$'%  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was :u?L y[x  
and Lnltt86  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he FCt %of#  
had Jj+Hj [(@  
back up already on the way. cEPqcy *  
>\1j`/ :ZI  
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind =kW7| c5Z  
her. QyEoWKu;  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car [Al}GM  
behind. RDu{U(!  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man `jGG^w3  
was ?ieC>cr  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 6l(HD([_p

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a [_tBv" z  
woman _/}/1/y$Y  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. =%crSuP  
Apparently R6irL!akAd  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet $viZ[Lu!m  
place. @w;&:J9m
 
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( _GL:4  
i.e. 3gs7Xj%N  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. kK]L(ZU+

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little j@jUuYuDgl  
bit to] ~$~Q|>  
of wonderful information. 7Y1FFw|  
@ql S #(  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed KA9v?_@{F  
that Dgz^ s^fxU  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let " ,45p@  
your /Nd`eUn  
friends know about #77. srIt_Wq

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.
