Hi Sam & Jean! Please share with your Family & Friends. I never knew
there was such a number.
Take care,
Dean
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!
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 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 *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 wa
nted 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.
*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 l ife This applies to ALL 50 states.
