MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 J!, <NlP0K  
p.m. o'Byuct  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED _fu?,  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Vn-y<*np  
parents wBUn*L  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the |A#pG^  
side of c_li.]P  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * @exeHcW61

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 9a5x~Z:'  
#77 hX~d1.]Y  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ['~B&  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Eh)PZvH  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind B#_ <?  
her. !>{`o/dZ  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was E}d@0C:  
and #?Z>o16,u  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 0
[ JJ  
had lV-b  
back up already on the way. {]/}3t

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind {f\/2k3  
her. XP"lqy

One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ?[}r& f  
behind. [wJM=`!W  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man i[_WO2  
was ew#t4~hh  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. c|%.

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a %># VhK  
woman Pvq74?an`  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Y9)

Apparently |<l  sv  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet B'OUT2cgB  
place. lU0'5!3R,  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Pwn3/+"%K  
i.e. ]E\o <"#t/  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. RHdcRojF

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little ua%$r[  
bit -lL(:drn  
of wonderful information. +pcpb)VL

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed B\,pbOE?#  
that h|tdK;)  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let F/FUKXxx  
your IdsPB)k_  
friends know about #77. }]ak6'|[

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.
