MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 vc :%  
p.m. {h=gnR-9  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED )n]"~I^  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's :h(`eC  
parents ~Pj q
3etk  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the p$t
|eu  
side of 35Yf,@VO  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * %.m+6 zaF

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 1<Sg @  
#77 $g^D1zkuDT  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull <iA\ZS:  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an RA!q)/+  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Z5E; FGPb  
her. /w1M%10   
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was P6&%`$  
and OXm`n/64+  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 1uO2I&B  
had ua)jGif  
back up already on the way. ! ,bQ;p3g|

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ftG3!}  
her. =?c""~7  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ;=7K*npT  
behind. 41x"Q?.bY  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man &s(J:P$!  
was *a\6X( ~  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. d:kn%L6k_

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a QgI[# d{  
woman lYTQg~aPm  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. !> =ybRe  
Apparently ~nTj't2R  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet [~u&#!*W  
place. m8=n`XI  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ruQt0q,W3%  
i.e. lLp,sNAj  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. J#48c'

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little `% QvCAR  
bit *E *oWb]H  
of wonderful information. n1JtY75#,/

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed TF%Xb>jy[  
that {l)$9!  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let PcBD;[cn  
your 6\ yBA_z
 
friends know about #77. fZezDm(Q

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

Will pass it around.

Thank you lili, this is very useful information.
