MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ,)+ o  
p.m. {%)s.5Pfw  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED A61^[Y,dX_  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's _
cTh#t ^  
parents c5q9LQ/  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the m`#Od^vk  
side of %V&n*3  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * |@?%Ct

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called q>f<u&  
#77 +;BAV  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull `0H g y=  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an rt3qdk5 U  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 'C$XS>S  
her. cEW0;\

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was [P zv4+  
and vr#+0:|  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he wS+V]`b  
had e+v({^

back up already on the way. T J^u"j-'

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind # ,uya2!)  
her. a)Q!'$"'  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car Dih6mTP{

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a g,`A[z2  
woman \y6OU M2y  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. I jr\5FA[p  
Apparently eAUcv`[#p  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet #Lsnr.80  
place. 5Dp #u  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( hc (e$##  
i.e. !Bz0^ 1,L  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did.  $p!yhn7

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little AL/?,%F  
bit '[$)bPMHl  
of wonderful information. M7f;Pa

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed eD$M<Eu  
that bn 6WjJ~Z+  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ?oZR.D|SZ  
your =U[3PC-N@  
friends know about #77. V^y^ ;0I}[

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.
