> 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 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. 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 Feature *677. Women, especially, alone in a  
> car, 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 *677 like Lauren did.

> Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this

> *Speaking to a service representative at **Bell** Mobility  
> confirmed that *677 was a direct link to State Police Dispatch. So,  
> now it's your turn to let your friends know about *677.

> Send this to every person you know
