MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 >Pf\"%*  
p.m. 3+oGR5gIN  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED O =0j I  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's gOLN7K-)  
parents "'v^X!"  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Vh'
H =J  
side of uN+]q qCf  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * L.

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 2pmqP-pKd  
#77 %=`wN^3t2  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ~>B`T%=H  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an GvI8W)d3,R  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind g#b9xTGJ^  
her. 45.Vr[FS.  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was s|\ \"3  
and +sFpIiJg  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he pxb 4x#CC  
had ^\C Fke=  
back up already on the way. %:e.E

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind I#PhzGC@

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a W*r

alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. b!oj3|9  
Apparently +sT S1t  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet e6gLYhf&  
place. ?4cj

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Ld?'X=eQ  
i.e. P"%f8C~r  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. |qz&d=>

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little =:BTv[lv  
bit oe<DP7e  
of wonderful information. }*?,&9/_)

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed E{BX $R_8  
that mnL+@mm  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let \[&&4CN{  
your l!mx,O`  
friends know about #77. 5jAS1XG

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.
