MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 }]?Si6_ZZ  
p.m. nM )C^$3<t  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 157_0  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's NO"PO @&Wk  
parents H",B[ YK  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the *eVq(R9?T  
side of +eM${JyXH  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * X%1TsCKMj

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 3FEJ 9ZyG  
#77 [I $+wWW_  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull kI\m0];KnQ  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an RpHl q  
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind nV;'UpQw  
her. [4Z 31v>  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was h vd}l8  
and U@lc1#  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he S &op|Z)1  
had lfGyK4:  
back up already on the way. &1xCPKIr

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind R?2sbK4Cz  
her. 2ej7Ql _@c  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car a^|DD#5  
behind. 'Ts:.  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man <AHpk5Sn{  
was Hd|l6/[xz  
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. ) ?L=o0

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a f^WTsh]  
woman i=8iK#2 h  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. lo1Ui`V  
Apparently 1^p/#jt  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet }{aGh I~<  
place. 5\-uo&#  
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( I$n=>s  
i.e. IP~!E_e}\  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. ^[L(kHOGzk

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little ;SR ESW  
bit ]$ew 5%  
of wonderful information. $Gn.G_"v  
j]a$RC#  
*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed pMc6p0  
that TOYK'|lwM  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let N+-Tp&:wY  
your WeI+|V$  
friends know about #77. 90}{4&C.^

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.
