Read this!!!
My mom forwarded this to me--the first time she's EVER forwarded anything useful. Seriously, read it, I never knew this and I never would have thought to do this--I either would have killed the guy for trying to rape me or um got raped. D=
Edit Actually I looked it up and these seems to be one of those retarded rumors or whatever but still. It's actually #77 and it only works in some states, in others it's different, and you're actually recommended to call 911 instead and put on your hazard lights. Ugh. This makes me paranoid. =P

YOU MUST KNOW *77
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *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 them never to pull over for an unmarked car on
the side of the road, but ra ther to wait until they get to a gas
station, etc. *
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 & quiet 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 generally give you this little bit
of wonderful information.
*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 *77.
Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.
