This was sent to me by a friend, felt it was important to share.
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 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 *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 *77was 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.
This applies to ALL 50 states.

I was just wondering why you stated so positively that the story is false. I thought you might have some inside information which both Snokes and TruthOrFiction lack.
