MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 \n+`~< i  
p.m. HM ^rk  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED !m]76=@  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's jsk<N  
parents !~>u\h  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the qK(?\t$  
side of ` LU&]NS3  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * P

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called +Uj~zx@  
#77 ?WUu@Z  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull @bD,^3U  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an dR $@vDm  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind c$1ez  
her. @GjWeOj]  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was
N 2q'$o  
and aD%")eP%&  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he P]!eM (  
had &b{L|I'KYT  
back up already on the way. .,tf[w 71

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind _gw~A{O  
her. [&)9|EV  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car }bjTb!  
behind. #l{q

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man 'nW:2(J  
was R},mq&f5  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 2b3x

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a INcJXlv  
woman YzEa?F*$  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. $yc&f(Tv  
Apparently Fvi<5v  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet TLO-$>h  
place. |A0kbC.  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( umD .  
i.e. <q
v:7@  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. IvH0sS`F

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little ]TD]
  
bit >&BgF*mm  
of wonderful information. LH0\Sm

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed B#sc!eLmU&  
that  <fN?=u+  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ?XW+&!ar  
your [.|tD  
friends know about #77. tXPS@4F

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.
