MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 )h"<\%LU  
p.m. v K|E>nL  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED uwzvbgup?  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's +ga k#M"n\  
parents $HHs^tW  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the
g!@<n1 L  
side of DFZkh^PFd  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ~.{/0T

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called :ubV};  
#77 \F1_lq;K  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull S?1AFI9{   
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 0m%|U'm|j  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind 0^I|ut4  
her. 5D\f8L  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was q)X$^oE!6  
and '\Giv!>  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he IUE~_7  
had Uzz'.K(Mv|  
back up already on the way. mn, =i

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind be]bZ 1f  
her. Jj!v

One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car @L<*9sLWh  
behind. F,W~,y  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man {MtpkUN  
was Xe6w|  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. G18F&c~

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a wvO|UP H\  
woman $?Yry.2  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. ciBP7>'::  
Apparently 0 HGM4[)=  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet Dv|#u|iw  
place. hn5h\M?  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( bLlKe50  
i.e. k;K)xb[w|  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. S g&UagBj

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little (D#B_`;-  
bit 6t>.[Y"v  
of wonderful information. v\KA'PmiP

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 77C'*tt1]  
that )Xk0VDNp$/  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 4 ! i
$4  
your qaiNz S@q  
friends know about #77. O@u?h9?cf>

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.
