MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 \Q^\z   
p.m. -d_FB?X  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED j|lg&kN  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's eC[g"Ef  
parents *$`r)pV%AK  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the CdWGb [uI  
side of Q>TaaGc  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * jG)>{D

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 7T4rx53  
#77

ps  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull 1;? L:A  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 'v6Rd)E\z  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind

her. pC5-,Z;8  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was IEC:zmkn  
and =%2 E|/  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he Plm3vk=  
had t9 &O0tpe  
back up already on the way. }pTw$B

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind `f6Qd2\  
her. dE^(KBF  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car S1$\D!|1  
behind. 7yQ r

was Qf=%%5+?8  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. jLb3{}0

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a tvFJ^5  
woman zoUW}O  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. TuaT-Z~U{  
Apparently u6(7#n02  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet

place. =1\'xz}p?  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( !my5-f>{(  
i.e. la
FkOQI  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. M~"]h:m&'v

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little dW:  
bit NA\,o;ka  
of wonderful information. |d{(&s }

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed K.X%
Q,XD  
that (\WePOy&  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let 5O*+5n  
your ve K  
friends know about #77. vP,WV9Q1u

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.

Thank you lili, this is very useful information.

Will pass it around.
