MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 %?y` _~G  
p.m. EZFWxR/  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED c}cboe2  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's )F
CqYCfk  
parents N:zSJW`1  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the EORAx  
side of I!bZ-16X  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * _E 8SX v

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called MS)bhZ
vO  
#77 Uh}yHD`K  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull pu#<qD*w  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an R["7%|RV  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Xs
CbA8Qv  
her. {,X( fJ  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was x]M1UBnMN  
and 'LI)6;Yc  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he %stktVDAP  
had DKH9 O  
back up already on the way.  O@$i

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind _69\#YvCG  
her. &kE|~i:=,9  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car U9s y]7  
behind. M>j)6?n`_  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man C,rZ}-  
was &!Vp 'l\9  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. vUA,`  

iE5^Xik,  
I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a W_EN4p~J  
woman XUHY.M  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. c`Cn9bX  
Apparently D.}b<kDD  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet >aK&T"  
place. ] QQ"7_+
  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (

'{~ej:  
i.e. e%\KI\u  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. XQPJ(.G

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little w5Z3e^g  
bit Wov_jVdN\  
of wonderful information. + u+fEg/A

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed cm<3'#~Q?  
that G[ea@u$?  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let pcG q  
your m9S5;kB]  
friends know about #77. R&A.F+Zgt

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.
