77 On Your Wireless Phone

Lauren was 19 yr. old and in college. This story takes place over the
Christmas/New Year's holiday break. It was the Saturday before New Year's
and it was about 1PM 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 4 children (high school and college age) and have
always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the
road, but rather wait until they get a gas station, etc., so 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 where police cars where she was and
there wasn'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" 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 give you this little bit of wonderful
information. So now it's your turn to let your friends know about #77.

Send this to every woman you know, it may save their life.

Have a good day!!
