MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 \A~4\um  
p.m. k#BU7Exij  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED H9/XW6W,"w  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Fv<]mu  
parents YK7
gd|LR]  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ud5x$`  
side of &MBOAHhze  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 5QNBB|X@

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called ?NQD#  
#77 3KbUHSx  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull A=y24m  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an +HYN$>  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 'w:tq  
her. UqY J#&MqY  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was x[zKtX  
and x`wZtv\  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he CdE2w?1  
had Q^\{Zg)p  
back up already on the way. 9[B<rz

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind TZ)(ZKX*R  
her. Gt?!E6^ !  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car H;4oZ[g  
behind. V>DXV-%&C  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man zaQ$ Ht  
was /%c+ eL}l  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. Uzy;#q

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 'Wd3`4V$  
woman xtG)^x!  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. -(`K7T>D.  
Apparently @?(nwj~ s`  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet h4B+0  
place. 6f<*1YR F  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( QJb7U5:B+  
i.e. _Jt_2o%G  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. \nn56o@eN

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little A632 :V  
bit YN$ndqOP  
of wonderful information. 8.6no

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 8uD8or  
that \>&@lA  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let zS#f%{  
your 3(>(lk  
friends know about #77. qQ3]E][/

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.
