MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 (?{MEwHG  
p.m. s,n0jix@  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED j|%HIF25  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's V<@ o<R  
parents !l 1fIc  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ^[XYFQTL  
side of _/!y)&4"  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * mkF"   
;@Z#b8a M}

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called Boz@bl mCB  
#77 "xHgqgFyO  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull A"D,Kg S  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Y2SJ7  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind >U*T0FL7  
her. : b~6i%b  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was
wK-3+&,9  
and $UCAhG$  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he QxOjOKAG  
had w1"nffhO  
back up already on the way. Mt5PaTjj

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind `~;rblo;  
her. ,@3$X=),E  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car rZ^v?4Z\  
behind. Jesjtcy<*  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man xs:n\N  
was rT5Ycm@  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. &2zq

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a q51Uf_\/  
woman 
e\JojaV  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. *nsAgGKKM^  
Apparently @u%_ 1  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet O1*NzY0Y%-  
place. <5jzl  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( .dQQoyR+O  
i.e. F>[,zN  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. !\L/[:n

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little #x3ujJ  
bit ugx%_x6  
of wonderful information. '-b*EZU8t

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed ?Poq2
 
that P2'DD 3   
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let '07P&g-  
your .j>hI="b  
friends know about #77. e0@Y#7N62

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.
