MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ,FVy:"FR  
p.m. A+D
YIS  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED O;sQPG,v  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's LkB!:+v |B  
parents i)3\jO0&GU  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the -B(KQT,J  
side of oA%[x  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * s@iCfXU

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called kweTK]mT  
#77 * v]UgPk  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 28yxX431S  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an :J-5Q]#  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind mcG$V0D <{  
her. y]%,Y=%X  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was HwuPjc#
 
and %"^XxVJ*  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he =Q/>g6  
had {3Wc<&D C1  
back up already on the way. *v3 |

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind W (=B H  
her. AwrK82  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car  2:F  
behind. 9X` QlJ2|  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man _If?&KJ r  
was hyoZh Y  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I W_D$pq

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Rw 8o]  
woman =1[g`b  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. I!O S&8:u  
Apparently +eXfT*=u5  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet BAHx7x#(  
place. !17Z\Ltqyj  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( S$WM&9U  
i.e. R  |%  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. .Y.# d7TA

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little nHrCSfK  
bit jsQ$.)nO  
of wonderful information. &2igX?60  
:L0W"$  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed .x8$PXjPG  
that y*(j{0yd  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let )&< ExJQ&  
your d]`,}vi#E9  
friends know about #77. eR`<9KBH

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.
