MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 5.
&)hmpg  
p.m. 6<fG;:  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED g\ .$4N  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ~AX~z)  
parents D^.  c:  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the e_KfnPY   
side of NjEi.]L*fX  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * :0 n+RL*5

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called p!uB8F  
#77 ]|,}hsN  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull Lkx~>U   
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an "uIa 
K

unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind nC%qdzT  
her. N AY3.e  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was (Ll'j0]k>  
and Fih pp<  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he *kqC^2t  
had b$#b+G{y  
back up already on the way. Gvh"3|u?z

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 5BXku=M  
her. @/^mFqr2  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car F ibZT1-k  
behind. <a

was r#)1/`h  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. Z10}xqi!X

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a kln)7SzPuk

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. a oU"  
Apparently ZnI15bsDx  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet <YU4RZ  
place. u|M

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( gz[3xH~  
i.e. @$%GszyQ'  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 0D@$

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little fDqT7}L  
bit {b4`\I@<  
of wonderful information. kV?fie<\)

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed VlA]A,P}i  
that v=lW5%r,'  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let $;q }jvo  
your }a~hd*-#  
friends know about #77. lbIPtu

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.
