know, please read
and take heed. Stay safe while driving.
I knew
about the red light on cars, but not the *77. It was about 1:00
p.m. in the afternoon, and
Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind
her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull
over for an unmarked car on the side of t he road, but rather to wait until they
get t o a gas station, etc. Lauren
had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell
phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away.
She proceeded to tell
the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light
on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police
cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain
calm and that he had back up already on the way. Ten minutes later 4
cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to
her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the
car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for
other crimes. I never
knew about the *77 Cell Phone
Feature, but
especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked
car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a
safe &
quiet place. You
obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your
hazard lights) or call *77
like Lauren
did. Too bad
the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful
information. *Speaking
to a service representative at ** Bell** Mobility
confirmed that
*77 was a direct
link to state trooper info. So, now it's your
turn to let your friends know about *77. Send this to every woman (and person)
you know; it may save a life. This applies to ALL 50
states.
