MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 <<][hQs  
p.m. GBPo8L"9  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED [<@.eH$hU/  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's Q~#Wf?  
parents <eWf<  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the &O
H={Au  
side of R\!2l|_  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * Hx?;fl'G%

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 3` DQo%<  
#77 cQ R]le%(  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull uxr #QA  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an VAHh~Q6 ;e  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind H&-zZc4\  
her. :74y!  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was P/W XaE4  
and u7>],<  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he T4Pgbop  
had QTk}h_<u  
back up already on the way. yb\_zE\

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind GjvOM y  
her. Yi.N&&o  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car \!.B+7t=I  
behind. Pd_U7&w,5  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man *nkoPVpC  
was L0TFo_  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. at,XB.}Z]

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a W{ q U  
woman 8;JWK3Gv  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. ;,%fE2c  
Apparently n{argI8wF  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet .1Dg s=|  
place. @niHl  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( Q+{xZ'o"Z  
i.e. t.i 8 2Q  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. B|C2lu

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little _@ qjV~%Sy  
bit Ng2twfSl$  
of wonderful information. OrY/`+Cog

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 52Z2]T c,  
that r@H /kD  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let nAsh:6${  
your _-K2/6zy  
friends know about #77. m[~y@7AK<

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.
