MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 %p/Qz|W  
p.m. k|BY 7C  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED ppR_y  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's S?r:=GS  
parents 56>Zqtp*  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the 3 V8SKBS  
side of l2gI2Cioa  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * \z:p"eua z

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called G2;Uv/vR  
#77 >/6v` 8F  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull iFF/[P  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an U^VFHIm  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind YxS*im[%]  
her. 6:v8J1G(<  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was O_-.@uo./(  
and 0w< iz;30  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he O~">-'f  
had k,X)PQc  
back up already on the way. :lgIu .

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind 5f/[HO)  
her. 1ikkm7  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car OMJr.u  
behind. s<E_74q1  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man eP&K]#  
was q1r\60M  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. s_zZ@azJ

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a Vn];vN  
woman *%B%BJnX  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. ++R-
_oQ  
Apparently U,RIr8G  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet @*is]d+Ya  
place. @

You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( 6C r$R]5  
i.e. OTN"XKa$  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. QdO$,i'

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little GS8,mQ8l*l  
bit zFP}=K:o)  
of wonderful information. "N4c>2Q  
wLkHU"'  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed dam.D.o"  
that aR}NAL_`w  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let #xYkG5`lm  
your b'3#FI=:  
friends know about #77. /Klwh1E

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.
