MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 __}ut+H^5p  
p.m. ;.=]Ar}  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED Z?u}?-b1\H  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ehTv@2b  
parents a9NIK/9  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the (C0Wty  
side of K #}t
\  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * NuW6~PV

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called d'iSvd.  
#77 `R!Q(rePx  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull $$i Gs6az  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 2S-f5&o  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind .q1y)l-^Z  
her. [:+f Y[4==  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was bj
AI7B8As  
and >R5A@0@d5  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he j8c5_&  
had `\GRY @cg  
back up already on the way. ,0{x-S0jX<  
nDyA][  
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind J&&)%&h'I  
her. {vdY(  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car g'cVsO)S  
behind. E;wT4 T=  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man $gZiW8  
was xjD."q  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. i|m8#*Hd

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a z_Hkw3?

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. WyRSy-{U(}  
Apparently ~F%sO'4!  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet b[<L l%K  
place. F}=_" IkZ  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 29 cx(  
i.e. Mfnfp{.)  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. L7R!,

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little sDAP '&  
bit 3aU5rbi|B  
of wonderful information. '2 Y8

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed EP^qj j@M  
that NY|hE@{2.  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let TbLU[(m-n  
your d0R;|p''Z  
friends know about #77. `@ny!S|1/
