MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 e}'gvm  
p.m. 7 8Vcu'j&_  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED :ygWNK[6D  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's <$%X<sDkq  
parents _AFQ>j  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the x2co>.
i  
side of VYZU eh  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * NzQ9Z1Mxy

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called ' OwyyPBF  
#77 ='Q{R*u  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ~C-,G"zw&G  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an A /(lKq  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 6i.gy
D  
her. +TK3{5`!Ae  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was b
B!#:j>(v  
and kH'p\9=  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he ?38lHn`FyQ  
had .N,&Uv-  
back up already on the way. _A98

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind T.REq4<  
her. <a4TO8  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car J'b<z.OW  
behind. >I}9LyZt  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man w~z[wmOkp  
was @@@=}!<H=  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. `s|]"'rX

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a .%}?b~   
woman 7FLXx?nLY  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.  ~*M$O&  
Apparently rq sdE  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet ?+~cA^-3T  
place. qFco3  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( -&|:0#@P  
i.e. fH\X  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. Wy4$*$

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little |Os6V<u"  
bit 9T7e\<8"vC  
of wonderful information. sV/l5]b]

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 8S]".  
that +vW)vS[  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let S${Zzt"  
your S4N(cn&  
friends know about #77. l.`u5D

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.
