MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 Bt>}LLBS2  
p.m. 6tOi^+qN  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 5_G'68;OV  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's ItK  
parents C<he4n.  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the j%M @#  
side of 1<uwU(  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * dE>v\0 3!8  
<q7s`,rG

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called - s|t^  
#77 NyJnO
w(  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull h3J*1  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an GqjO>v fy  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind xbC~C ~#  
her. Tkrx7Cs(  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was 7b.U!Ju  
and !cCg/  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he n0.8)=;2  
had ez0\bym  
back up already on the way. WbzA Jx 5

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind rh$1-Y  
her.  b~!om  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car \o9@>&2  
behind. ,o&<WMD  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man ||a`fH  
was i=Kvz4h  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. |h1^Gv

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a P,1exgq9  
woman s piDm:Xe  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. /8p&Qf>lJ1  
Apparently ~yN(-I1P  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet yv ${M u  
place. * NMQ  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( \r]('x3S  
i.e. Am7| /  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. q<}PM

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little ~'f8L#[M  
bit DS 1JF  
of wonderful information. EHWv3sR-

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed x_ySf!ih  
that -IvL+}K  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let szn%wZW  
your J%4HNW*p  
friends know about #77. |!re8|JV_

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.
