MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 E;
4Ns  
p.m. @IiT8B  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED M+hc,;6  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ]Hd0 Y%  
parents &vMH AZd  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the YRp\#pVnZ  
side of 9x?;;qC"m9  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * zK-hNDFL{  
%&_(IY$d

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called D 8?$Fn=  
#77 t^C
T^z  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull Q"hI!PO+  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an @>9
p2u)=  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind BXfaqYb;Q  
her. h{* O9O<  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was B?0{=u  
and ZHC sv]l  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he _kY5

had G'Q7(c  
back up already on the way. 2/7=@>|

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind .v" lY2:N  
her. 9uS7G*  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ax^${s|{-  
behind. uPF yRWK  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man }qD.Ek  
was D`t

a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. ]R4 )FH|><

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Yip9K[  
woman Oq[E\8Wn  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. rp'fli?0e  
Apparently F7;xf{n<  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 'o7PIhD"  
place. ,K9UT#h  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ?J~JQe42  
i.e. f0D Ch]  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. L\Jl'r|

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little r0X2cc  
bit @Qs-A^.  
of wonderful information. T?\CAk>  
*}_/:\v  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed ]F@md(J  
that pK8nzGQ l7  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let *c AoE l  
your -YuvEm#f  
friends know about #77. !%u#J:z2

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.
