MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 6{FS/+  
p.m. 5G42vTDzS4  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED d/-]y:`f`  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's `)gkkZ$)j  
parents gen3"\Og{  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the ~n]2)>6  
side of n<"a+TTU  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * 6m;wO r

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called <}x|@u  
#77 Vms7 Jay  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull KzFs#rhpn  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an )MX1776kU  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind H?zCI

her. UU:QK{{E  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was %lqG*dRx0  
and KH6n3\=  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he Z:o' +oh  
had pN^G[  
back up already on the way. zWR*g/i

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind VHXR)}  
her. O<H@:W#k

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a (/rIodHJO  
woman F" #3 s=  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. e[VJ0 A=  
Apparently Aaw:B?4)  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet kosJ]q'U  
place. YQ[&h  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( *MyS7<  
i.e. ]6c2[r?g{  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. &V,-W0T_

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little uhN

bit `X]2iz
 
of wonderful information. ?

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed HU.6L'H*  
that bMK'J  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let @0@'6J04  
your Ivgwm6M  
friends know about #77. m#}{"d&J

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.
