Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih Posted February 27, 2004 A friend of mine sent this to me and I feel it's worth passing along. THE # 77 ON YOUR CELL PHONE Lauren was 19 yr. old and in college. 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 UN-MARKED police car pulled up behind her and put on his light. Lauren's parents have 4 children (high school and college age) an 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Senora Posted February 29, 2004 Great tip! There have been so many "police impersonations" going on, especially in Georgia lately, and this bit of info, no doubt, will help..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7_steps_2_Heaven Posted March 4, 2004 abdilatiif, does this apply to UK as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Senora Posted March 5, 2004 ^^^Do you really see that as the best alternative???....Why dont you educate yourself? Don't pay so much attention to the images that are prevalent in and around our society. You don't need a gun to be strong, or have power. And you dont need to think that being involved in sports, or hustling is the only way you will be able to make money. The only way you can acquire self-respect is believing in yourself and respecting your self and your mind. You can never trully be educated, becuase with every new day, you are learning something new.If this seems like I am attacking you, those weren't my intentions, it was just a little dis-heartening to read your response Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
