MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 l -mfFN  
p.m. 1..+F0U  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED Z'W=\rl  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's z`}qkbvi  
parents :T$|bc  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the o]_dJB  
side of S-b/S5  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * t%FwXaO#

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called SrJGTuXg  
#77 Xp% v.M  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull `pS9_NYZ}  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Rz /
gtEP  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Hqx-~hQO  
her. 9c'xHO`  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was P{jbl!UD7  
and hJ? O],4J  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he CL;}IBd a  
had I@~QV@U  
back up already on the way. _p/UsJ

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind Tc:)- z[o  
her. ^j7Vt2-  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car mh#a#<  
behind. }W8;=$jr  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man mb3"U"ohs  
was c )g\/  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 7#a-u<HF"

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a >J?fl8  
woman q5+4S5R*^  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. RVmh6m  
Apparently eA?RK.e  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 9};8?mucr  
place. >dD@j:Qc  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( aCj&O:]=  
i.e. $G+@_'  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 70nqD>M4

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little (D&3G;0 tK  
bit ]Sz:|%JP1  
of wonderful information. P=Jo+4O

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed n\'4  
that "| g>'wM*  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let XJ\DVZ  
your EGS)b  
friends know about #77. @ioJ]$o7

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.
