MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 `h}q Eo`  
p.m. j@Yi`a(sdm  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED T[=S$n-'  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's "EU{8b  
parents ExHKw~y9  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the X(jVRr_m9  
side of .I}:m%zv  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * Hi_G

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called SWp1|.=Sm  
#77 K[chjp!$l  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull ++L?+^h  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an do uc('@  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind !_2n  
her. 3~e8bcb  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was B2Xn?i3 l  
and nC {K$  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he H3{GmV8  
had i(?,6)9  
back up already on the way. K7

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind +n}$pM|NKU  
her. CF|]e:  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car "RVcA",  
behind. DF6c|  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man ~[k%oA%W  
was m]*Bx%-1c  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. r_EcMIuk

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a *5<Sr q'  
woman 8A{_GH{:  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.  p!Eft/A(  
Apparently '8Phxx|  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet nUq<TJ  
place. rbT)=-(  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( @\&m+;6  
i.e. kt4d;4n  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. S4witIK5

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little j@Qg0F  
bit VF&Z%O3n  
of wonderful information. 4@.|_ zY

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed :S$l"wrh\  
that iTW? W\d  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let iq nJ~g  
your Z ,^9Z  
friends know about #77. %AOIKK5

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.
