MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 (-co.  
p.m. |l!aB(NW  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED e#q}F>/L  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ./~(7o$  
parents "w c<B4"  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the D/' dTrR  
side of -n;}n:wL  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 7-A2_!_x{

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called i-&yH  
#77 c*M}N?|6  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 6w77YTJ  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an Bbp|!+KP{(  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind eV~goj  
her. f *)Z)6E  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was i@'dH3-kO  
and :zR!/5  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he t$ *0{w E  
had 6H|S;K+  
back up already on the way. T^q 0'#/

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind jj>]9z  
her. fXB0j;A  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car #A.@i+Zv  
behind. S,=| AD  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man p b,. r  
was BJ0?kX@  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. {GUF;V ^

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a 048kPXm`  
woman ,u!sjx  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. [00m/fT6  
Apparently :Tq~8!s  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet xN(|A}w  
place. I}Q2Vu<  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 2T`!v  
i.e. .wr>]yN  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. 3uMy]HUQ

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little i mM_H;-X  
bit }
~q5w{_n  
of wonderful information. [S<";l8

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed l;V173W=&  
that S t yf
B  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let |cY`x(?yP  
your QSj]Z A  
friends know about #77. &.ACd+Cd

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.
