MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 .AR#&mL9  
p.m. K&POyOvT  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 7C,&*Ax,9  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's wQqb`l7+  
parents &+Z,hs9%  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ]op}y0  
side of 6h|q'.Y  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * jN {Xfjmfv

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called F_w Z"e6  
#77 0Vlk;fIh  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull KK&rb~  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an ?I6fye7  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind F"&~*m^+  
her.  CJ1 7n  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was >zw.GwN|  
and JJP08oP  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he U{7w#>V .  
had $Z.7zH  
back up already on the way. 15%w 8u

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind Dd'm U  
her. xbdN0MAU  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car I8wXuIN_  
behind. E(O74/2c8  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man veMH  
was 1C<uz29  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. `IP/d

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 'FqQzx"r  
woman ^V?<K.F  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. i!J8 d"  
Apparently k.5u  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet rf $QxJ  
place. OVm\  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( `z{%(_+[
 
i.e. $;
1#To  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. AJh w

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little f%SZg!+t  
bit AP68V  
of wonderful information. s3~lT.

#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let }Ga\wV  
your C<NLE-  
friends know about #77. 6N!Q:x^4(T

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.
