SAFETY ON THE ROAD - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MUST KNOW *677
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *677. 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 them 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 677 on her cell phone to inform the police dispatcher
that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the
dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car behind her with a
flashing red light on his rooftop. The dispatcher checked to see if
there were any police cars in that area. There weren't. She was told
keep driving, remain calm, and that back up was on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the
unmarked car behind her.
One policeman went to her side while the others
surrounded the other car. 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 *677 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 & quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that
you acknowledge them (I..e. put on your hazard lights) or call *677 like
Lauren did.
Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give
you this little bit of wonderful information.
*Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell **
Mobility confirmed that *677 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch. So, now
it's your turn to let your friends know about *677.
Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may
save a life.
