MUST KNOW #77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the #77. It was about 1:00 o]opdw  
p.m. gg8Uo G  
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED 7a~X:#  
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's k1!@^A  
parents qT^I?g"!  
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the %Z1N;g0  
side of uS^Ipxe\  
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. *

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called `*shF9.\C  
#77 4#lo$#  
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull Sm5H_m!  
over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an " W|%~h
 
unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind q|),`.eh\  
her. vuYSVI2=H  
The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was )+6MK(<"  
and eow'K 821A  
there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he F|!){=   
had y`=]T>X&x  
back up already on the way. LEtG|3Dx

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind ctGL-kp  
her. 5s]. @C8  
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car ?F3 h)(}  
behind. yNbjoFM.i  
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man r >nG@A  
was qo|WXwP2

I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a $b mLu=9  
woman q7E~+p(>(  
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. yYfsy?3  
Apparently gdQvp=v]  
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet }1upi=+aE  
place. UNBH   
You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( ruy}/7uf  
i.e. %QP0  
put on your hazard lights) or call #77 like Lauren did. _FWBUZ;N

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little n<u $=H  
bit w.TuoWo>  
of wonderful information. d}4Y(

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell ** Mobility confirmed @!1x7%]G  
that Ll4g[8  
#77 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let J7g8D{4  
your aYSCw3C <  
friends know about #77. PAM}*'

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.
