*77, Highway Patrol Assistance Phone Number, Is this a valid thing or a hoax?

Answer 1

Yes, it is valid. But if you have an emergency, call 911.

Answer 2

This may very well be good information.

Many states have highway patrol offices that employ a type of *77 cellular telephone contact number used instead of going through a 9-1-1 dispatch center.

The problem, however, is those special numbers are normally only good in the state or area where the number is provided.

In my own state, for instance, instead of dialing 9-1-1 for "emergencies" you can dial *47 (*HP) for a direct line with any state patrol dispatch closest to where the call is being made.

This enables you to talk directly to the state police instead of going through a more localized 9-1-1 center which may have to transfer your call to the local or state police.

I would suggest you call your state police office and see if the number is valid in your area!

Answer 3

I remember when he first died last summer. I wanted so badly for it to be some kind of weird prank or something. Or to know that they had the wrong person. It was so hard to believe and often still is. I saw This is It twice and will get it on DVD. Well, there is a whole lot of material on Youtube--people that have gathered facts such as these. Equally strange was the 911 call and how they never mentioned that the person in distress was Michael Jackson. And the ambulance photo is obviously a fake. Or, a real picture from decades ago. It is all quite interesting. I don't believe in conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder. But, in spite of all the motive and reason to do this, I just don't believe that he would do this to his children. Or his mother. Plus, there could never be any come back tour. the world would hate Michael Jackson and he'd go to jail because faking your death is a crime. There's also a lot of unanswered questions about Elivis Presley's death. Entire books have been written with research citing how he could still be alive. It's hard to believe it when a major figure dies like that, but he's gone.

Answer 4

Hoax. If it is an emergency dial 911. Nationwide.

Answer 5

Yes it is valid. My county sherrif held a meeting and told us about it there. I dont think he would lie to us, but i have not tried it.
