MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 ~`-9i{L  
p.m. tinN$o Xy  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED KM0 #M'dXy  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's 4eaC18?  
parents A|Y\Y}  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the c}v:X Slh7  
side of VIi|: k  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * ItOVx!"@9

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called b>2u>4  
#77 OIewG5O  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull %WC pn<)  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an 'd6hQ4Vw4  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Z[({; WtF  
her. 8zVXQ! '  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was =$BgIt  
and sUbZVPDr  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he 'Fc&"(!||  
had <o?qpW$,>  
back up already on the way. gscsB4<

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind qU2>V  
her. T_Y6AII  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car i NQk{n  
behind. k9R1E

They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man z9dVT'  
was 4vBbP;ELWq  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. HHEFX9u

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a &|{K*pNa  
woman `+zr PpX  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. &# @1n  
Apparently fG,qax`:c  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet Xd|5{  
place. 4F:RLj9P!  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( PCaa_ 2  
i.e. ;WGY)=-gv  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. gXw\_ue<

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little 9wWjl}%  
bit &S|laqH  
of wonderful information. k+i}U9c"

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 5@Py`  
that mup3 ua]!  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let ,cC4d`  
your ~s5Sk#.z5  
friends know about #77. ojIh;e

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