MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 _PNU*E%s<  
p.m. zCO5`%14  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED xZ`t~4qR  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's +t.T+` EG  
parents c)@M7UK[  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the Vl^jTX5N  
side of ?\$77k  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * b^Rg_,s

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called aM?7'8/  
#77 ?/#HTg)!B  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull + 6r@HK`,t  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an $Ae/NwIlc  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind Gjy'30IF  
her. 6EX:qp^`  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was &??(EA3  
and PK3T@Qv89  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he .s7/b
F  
had v~uwQ&AH  
back up already on the way. k qwS /s

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind wZfR>|f  
her. Bu!Gy8\  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car :Oq!.uO  
behind. n)`*{uv$  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man \,p)  
was ~&B_ Bswf  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.  Kn\Oj=4

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a C6'[Tn  
woman L>@0Nne7  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. T^A:pL1  
Apparently -fUz$Df/R  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet 1`aFL5[0$  
place. ml?+JbLg0  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( `;cKN)Xk  
i.e. 9Eg'=YJ  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. f_raICO{R

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little +#&2*nY  
bit 1 f[!=p  
of wonderful information. d9Rj-e1x

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed HLk}E*.mC  
that / d6mlQS  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let I &{dan2  
your kP8Ypw&  
friends know about #77. }b\d CGVr

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.
