MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 3ql Y=5Y  
p.m. uK6'TJ  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED H.Q648A"PF  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ,8tk]W[C  
parents 5YZh e4R  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the r5>1n/+6  
side of l;~b:[r  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * k1.h|&JJN  
EE{]EW(

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called QWncKE,O$  
#77 *eF'<._[U  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull NFsCq_f  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an (9]8r2|.  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind sB~|V <  
her. eBZ94rA]  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was q6]T;)U&  
and ^t2b`n60  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he d
-rqZn}  
had (XU(e  
back up already on the way. :{g;J  
M:5K4$>Kx  
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind '{ $7Dbo  
her. `K%f"by  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car j;7:aM"BQW  
behind. *^+]`S  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man 85}S8\_u  
was ]jB`" to*}  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. [C0"vOTUb

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a vWs#4JoG  
woman ,pTj'I  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Jyz*W!kI  
Apparently 59@PY!c>  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet j*6>{_[  
place. T4JG5  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ~WW!P_wI,  
i.e. 1(diG&  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. Ib&]1ger#=

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little "Dt: 8Nf^  
bit O30eq 7(  
of wonderful information. @'>Ul!.]

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed 9OS~;9YR  
that 75"&"*R/*G  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let {0o,2]o!:  
your Clo}kdkd_  
friends know about #77. )Y](Mj!D

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.
