MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 6%A_PP3Z  
p.m. N|-'Fu  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED V44M=c7E  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's <=Z`]8  
parents +1pY^#A  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ]jRaR~[UN  
side of I xk+y?  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ExxD w_VGT

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called eEmuE H@X  
#77 A(@VjX
l  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull o;"Phc.  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an "6t#
  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind "o}}[hRP  
her. Q!ReA{  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was ))xP]Muv  
and Q<O(Ix  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he #a+*u?jnnL  
had /%{

back up already on the way. ""W*) rR

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind b?]Lx.l-  
her. "CTK%be{q/  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car D.ERt)l>  
behind. [bh8Nj\E  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man xH4Qv[k Q7  
was G~X93J  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. Qq{>]5<

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a [XbNZ6  
woman SL$
bV2T  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. o,gH *  
Apparently CzfGb4  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet :vXlni7N[M  
place. *Sw1

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( +t7n6  
i.e. vPce6 Cl*  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. p0sq{d~

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little Yc3Rq4I'G  
bit Ad)::9 K?J  
of wonderful information. p*C|kEqk

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed WlHK  
that G?dxLRy.do  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let [X^Oxs  
your &|YJ?},  
friends know about #77. We)l_>G

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.
