NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR SOMEONE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES PLEASE USE 911, Roofcutter


Thought this might be something good for you to know.



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 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 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 *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.

Hmm interesting it was sent to my by someone that even called me about it...lol I guess I should have googled it to see whats up. O well sorry everyone.


Hmm is it just for Canucks


The Hope Township Community Policing Committee would like to remind the public that *677 can be used on cell phones to contact the OPP for non emergency calls. This number is easy to remember because it is derived from the letters OPP on the cell phone keypad. It connects the caller to an OPP Communications Centre usually the one that is closest to the caller.
Everyone knows that 9-1-1 should be used for emergencies. However, the public should be reminded that there is a three-tiered response to a call. The call taker will ask whether police, ambulance or fire are required and the caller should have some idea before making the call. This would be applicable to a car accident on a busy highway more than anything else.
Parents with teenage children that are travelling throughout the province can make use of cell phones for emergency plans. Pre-paid phone cards are available that would limit their use. Family plans are available with unlimited calling between phones used by different family members. There are other star numbers that can be obtained from your cell phone service provider.

WiseOldRulesForBeingPulledOver hehe...ok it's more like a procedure.

1.Pull to side of the road and turn the engine off.

2.When he asks for your license make sure he he's the military id, or accidently give him your military id and right as he has enough time to see what it is, say "Oops! sorry, here you go." Hand him your drivers license, if your a smart one you got your picture taken ON DUTY AND IN UNIFORM lol.

3.Engage conversation about the Army and how you've been to Iraq (Note: Your either going later that month or just got out of the feild for a month).

4.Make sure he is aware that you are COMBAT and have an actualy PURPOSE in the Army, and your not some paper pushing wuss or a buger fliper.

5.Accept your verbal or written warning for doing 80 in a 55 and drive off. (NOTE: If you are in a military town, or a town near a military town, this will fail for sure because odds are the last moron they pulled over tried the same line and that's the 10th GI they've pulled over that hour lol).

6. Drive off hooting and hollaring that your invincable and resist to break the law again, wondering if you can be 2-0.

lol thats EXACTLY how it happened when i got pulled over driving to see my wife (i still have the warning he wrote me in my truck). Also....Killeen PD doesn't care because they lock us up CONSTANTLY.
