MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 k n [Y   
p.m. X|D!VX>#!  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED WY:&
ugGx  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's _ee dBpV  
parents 6$fYt&1  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Z?Hs@j  
side of 6x)$ Dl  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 4)>FS'=

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called y! .J  
#77 9`//^8G:=  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull '_k+ WH&  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 6]
zd.W  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Sn4[3JV$l  
her. '})0!g<Y  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 4_v]O  
and NcPgq?3p  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he `+:.L>5([  
had [+m?G4[  
back up already on the way. ig LMv+{

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ^ci3F<?Q=  
her. PQKaqv}N  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car _p-t<ytnh  
behind. 0[?ny`Y  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man SUKxkc(  
was hN2:d1f0  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. 4MuO1W-

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Cv ejb+  
woman hI?sOR!  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. %1 vsN-O}8  
Apparently )}vNOE?X~  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet fb~=Y$|  
place. jn >d*9u  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 'J&f%kx"  
i.e. $ ;M:TpX  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. BBG3OAyg_

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little r0d35
 
bit @yXfBML?]  
of wonderful information. |tR

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed p Dx-2:}  
that U7uKRv9  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 1i:|3PA~  
your B+C);WQ,  
friends know about #77. +YLejjQ

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