HELLO ALL- >VERY IMPORTANT >I NEVER SEND EMAILS LIKE THIS BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT >This is so important for all and you guys please >tell your wife,mom,children & girlfriends this could >save their life's, love to all> I knew about the >red light on cars but not the #77 > > > > It was about 1 PM 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 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" place.

It was supposed to be * not #.
*77 is used in most if not all states and it connects you right to the state police. that was a typo. sorry. also if you dial 411 I was told they will connect you to the state police to. The main important part of this story is NOT TO PULL OVER FOR AN UNMARKED CAR W/A RED LIGHT ON IT. Call and tell the police that you won't pull over until you get to a gas station or another public place. My hubby is a police officer and he told me the same thing. So I would take this advice. Like I said it was a typo it should have been * not #. Yes, Itsme please do tell others, it could save their lives.

I'm not sure this works in Canada
You still should call 911 first

1. don't pull over til you're in PUBLIC place.
2. call 911 if it's an emergency daisy, I got that spam a few days ago as well, funny how things simply fly over the net (and I didn't even forward it) |
