MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ct<X
KqbI  
p.m. rV} 5&N*c  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED Rtlc&Q.b  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Ihv@2{*(b  
parents |>'q%xK  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the 8dCRS U  
side of _9q byhS7  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * b_7LSp

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called YFW/ Fa\7  
#77 K(HrwH`a{  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull
{rn^  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an \:+ NVIN  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind ]c bXI  
her. y>7 r;e  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was + R~!G  
and |~&cTDd  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he [f}`reRlZ  
had &WOm[]Q4  
back up already on the way. \S&OAe/b

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind fzOh3FO+  
her. &eqqgLz  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ddd2w
  
behind. piqh7u3~  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man T(Bcp^N  
was 1.TIUH1  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. {?"X\5 n0

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Z4E6J'B8  
woman L-9;"]d~|  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. 1hzf+*g  
Apparently (:\L@j  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet T Qx<lw  
place. 1/&^~'  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ?*ZQ:jH  
i.e. 6ND*L
0  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 3Tp8t6*nL

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little *`LrvE@t  
bit @!}/$[hu1  
of wonderful information. Mpco8b-b  
c *<m.  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed DLD9  
that KZa6*,,s  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let +KWO`WR  
your 7U^{xDg.b  
friends know about #77. C6h[L

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.
