MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 vZgV/?'z  
p.m. i/&?e+i  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED n~1'M/wh  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's D# $Fj  
parents +0w~Skd,  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the wknr^A  
side of !b esMZ  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * >q'xW=Y j\

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called ^J?ExMu  
#77 $`2rtF  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ; bBz<  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an *H"IW0I  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind yj^LX2x"  
her. y^rcUPLT  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was @} nI$x.  
and KtT.WHr(m  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he ~*3obZ2>2  
had S~dD;R  
back up already on the way. }~?B

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ~wMdk9RQ  
her. x>>#<hOz[  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car A9*( O)  
behind. 6@7K \${  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man F S3MR9  
was 4Y):d!'b  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. c)d*[OI8

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a A@8Ot-t:\2  
woman jRswGMx  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. b7 p D#v  
Apparently \m3'4#  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet N1lhlw6  
place. ^w0V{qF{  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( y:U'3G-
  
i.e. vyME  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. (,5oqU9s@

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little *K9I+t"g  
bit p.r \|  
of wonderful information. w/8`]q

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 7}r!&Eb  
that l7 +#gPA  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let E+Jh4$x{  
your egBjr?  
friends know about #77. `1cGb*b/

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.
