MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 b0_Ih6  
p.m. ^1^muc[  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 4/tp-dBip  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 1k8zAtuj  
parents *To
5\|  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the F};G&  
side of `Mxi2Y{vp  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * a5AD$bP

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called E{Ux|r ~  
#77 `:I<Jp  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull dwc$#cMf  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an ZRd,V~iz  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind |NZVm}T  
her. nrpxZA  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was Z1g

and f2"

there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he |#

had oHbG-p  
back up already on the way. Mh+ym]6\(k

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind #AJo75E%  
her. jo_wBJKE  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car Cd"iaiTD0  
behind. *=X$j~#X  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man U- a+LS  
was (haYY]W \  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. yfd$T}WW6

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 0Th
X1)SH  
woman &~xzp^&  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Dr!g$,9  
Apparently 2-<i#nA3  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet fv",4L  
place. RN%*3{-  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( %fyah}=  
i.e. LZB=vc|3/  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. *"pf3x6

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little x(Us O}  
bit  H?(I-vO  
of wonderful information. 2/

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed C&QT-|  
that JPt=~e(  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 9"H]zfW  
your a\Ond#1p
 
friends know about #77. pUz;e#J|

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.
