MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 :JSxsA6k  
p.m. I._ A  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED SOG(&)b  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ZNH-0mk  
parents eTjPztdJbx  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the %! iqJ)*~  
side of Zsapu1HoL\  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * !Fs$W

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called D'[:35z  
#77 -Y+pLvG*  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull :g$"Xc8Zn  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an vKnZ==B  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 0fstEExw  
her. A'CD,R+gR  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was =xkaF)AW&v  
and `ZL^+h<b>M  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he '?$@hq
Qn  
had [>`.,k  
back up already on the way. &M5v EPR  
~H#c-B  
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind k-&<_ghT \  
her. ,l AZ4  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car #qVvh3#g  
behind. f~l pa7  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man ,62~u'hR5  
was ?J6Ek*E#  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 1VYH:uGuAU

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a ]N}/L lq  
woman zq+2@"q  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. KPy)%i  
Apparently gm5%X'XL  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 
}s?3  
place. M>=@Z*u/+  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( E[t[R<v,P!  
i.e. *[cCY!+Qy  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. RUr ~u

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little R/1e/t  
bit 6v{&,q  
of wonderful information. ,(oolx"Xa

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed QN;5+p
[N  
that 7}qxWz  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let x]YzVJ=Y  
your 3US`6Y"  
friends know about #77. O:I]v@

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.
