#77

I knew  about the red light on cars, but not the (pound sign 77)  #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 (pound sign 77)  #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 roof top 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.
Five 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 (Pound sign 77 ) #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 (pound sign 77)  #77.
Send this to every person you know; it may save a life.  
This applies to ALL 50 states.
