I am getting harrased by the Roanoke Texas police department, if somone around me calls the police on some little thing they come out and just put me down as a human and I have lived for 12 years and this has started about 3 years ago when my brother was dating a girl then they broke up and then the sargent started dating her and now everyone just calls the police and I get harrased. If I need them to come out for me they dont they always say I call for a cricket chearping now Do I have rights and if something does happen they say will not come. There was a lady that almost hit my son that was driving drunk and she called the Roanoke police department because I asked why she did that so she called them and they did nothing to her for driving under the influance but they did come to me and asked why I called the police and I did not she did then I got called everything but a human. can someone please help!

I understand your pain, about 2 years ago I went to check my mail and by the mail boxes there is a lady that the judge of Roanoke and the police know very well, so I made a turn around with my van and she called the police and said I tried to run her over well the Detective decided he was going to file Assault with a deadly weapon charge on me, they went as far as going down a taking some one else's tracks and someone else's tire marks and said it was mine, it was tied up in court for a year but the kicker there was no evidence that pined me because they said there was also a video and they could not provide it as well as the tire marks, so Denton County had to throw it out and of course it made the detective mad and he went after my husband with the same charge with someone else and it did not stick so now they are mad about it and we get the cops out here and we are bad people. Roanoke, Police is stupid, I have a friend down the street that has a god daughter that they said she touched a 6 year old girl but the sex offender that babysitted the little girl is friends with the cops and they said he did not do it, I made sure he got what he deserved I called CPS and had him investigated and the mother as well because she new he was a sex offender and left that child with this evil man and now he is sitting in Denton County but he would have ran scott free because Roanoke is stupid. Officer Meadows and Sarg. Wise are the worst cops here.

Harassment is an understatement. What they do is obsess. Not only that but upon a search of a car that they never even asked to search, just helped themselves to do so they "found" an illegal item that was not mine by a longshot. I plan on fighting the charge but how to prove a cop planted something to get you in trouble is not easily presenting an answer. Go against the police department? Not looking forward to that. Financially alone just to attempt to preserve my life they have definatly hurt me. And since my release from jail besides recurring headaches i never had got before officer meadows clearly unnecessary erratic driving caused me to hit my head against the window during transfer to denton, i have been literally stalked by any given officer on any given day. They do slow drive bys of my home, they follow me, show up almost everywhere i am and i have walked out of stores to find them at the end of the parling lot only to drive right up to me as im getting in my car and circle around 2 or 3 times til i can drive away. Its to the point i would not call them if i needed them simply because whatever the situation they would take the opportunity to hurt me further. Its pretty sad id watch my home get burglarized, stand back and let the intruder finish his job or have my car toataled in a parking lot and hope the faulty driver is giving me real insurance info before i would trust id get real help from r.p.d. i feel your pain. I really do!

It's funny that you see the same type of people complaining about the same thing things. All over message boards are people that are in trouble with "the law" and they look at the police department and blame them. I would imagine that if you moved to a new community; you would have the same problems! It must be a conspiracy against you! Looking at common factors in a problem is a very simple way to see what the problem is and maybe that problem is you. Just something to think about.

I don't think it's a "type of person" that is the problem in Roanoke Texas. I myself have had a recent run in with a Roanoke officer with a "self glorifying/god like" attitude.
The driver of the car I was in got pulled over for stopping past the line at a stop sign. It's a very long nosed car from the early seventy's and the officer said he had pulled so far past the line that it was at the driver door. That would have put the car a good 7-8 feet into the intersection, and NO SIR it was NOT. So BS reason, big fat liar. Then before the insurance or id was out the window everyone in the car starts getting grilled. "Where have you been? Why were you there? How long were you there? Where are you going?" We were coming from the baseball fields a quarter mile back and we're going to dinner; a fact that didn't satisfy of him. So then he started treating us like criminals and looking in the car and demanding everybody's id. I was completely confused and asked the officer why. Apparently that is a crime and he told me to get out of the car. And no I did not refuse to give him my id, is was in the backseat and I was waiting for it to be handed up. While I was waiting I just wanted to know why he was doing this. So now I'm at the back of the car being threatened to be arrested refusing to handover my id, although I never refused and I only asked once. The answer I got was "I'm a police officer and I have the right". Which didn't answer my question so I asked again, "okay, but why are you doing this? What did we do wrong? " Then the threats came again, this time he was going to arrest me for failing to identify myself but he never even asked my name. When I told him this he said "fine what's your name and birthdate" and I give it to him. He continued to lecture me but never answered why I was being investigated and acted like he was doing me a favor by not arresting me. He was rude, talked in circles, never answered my question, belittled and berated me. The cops in Roanoke, Tx are unethical jerks.

WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T VISIT OR DRIVE THROUGH ROANOKE, TEXAS...RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!

Wow, I think they need something better to do, Because my son is now 20yrs old and we posted on his dad and sister that he has never met telling them that he would like to see posted on facebook and his sister didnt know about her brother so his dad got on the phone with him and told him that he would beat him for telling his daughter. he was also calling his own son names! So my son wanted to go to his dads work to visit his dad, and was told by the police that he would be traspassing and could be put in Jail!
Oh but it was ok for a grown man to tell his son he would beat him to a bloody pope! and he is a personal trainer in Roanoke tx
Twice my son size.. Wow just because he wan'ts to get to know his dad and sister...! He owns his own gym in Roanoke Tx most of u might already know him what a coward! The police don't seem to do anything to people that needs to go to Jail! I'am sorry to hear about what has been done to all of u!

I lived in Roanoke for 17 years and the police department is one of the finest! Some people have too much time on their hands and have to complain about everything; thus try using this SPARE TIME to do some good, i.e., helping your community or by volunteering. I was very proud to call Roanoke home for many years and the police dept. always showed me the utmost respect.

I liked them pretty good until one of there officer named Michael thompson started having sex with my wife around Aug 25 2011, on duty and at my house. He started chasing her around town, going everywhere she worked ( dove creek and whataburger) and ran her and all her friends tags to obtain there addresses and personal info.she told me he would just hang around all the time. Sometimes up to 20hrs a week, on the clock before they started running there course, he even gave her some live ammunition from his weapon, a Glock 9 millimeter, and my 5 year old found it in her purse and showed it to me and that's when I drew the line because I have never owned a weapon such a small caliber, I only shoot 45 ACP. so I finally put a stop to this in july 2012, she finally had to call the Chief of Police to put an end to it. my wife got a DUI in feb 2012 and her license revoked but she still chose to drive all over town and most of the police depart of this especially 1 lady named officer gray. This all makes me want to throw up, but the chief offered him a choice to either take a lie detector test or resign, he chose to resign and winent back to his home town, which was somewhere on the other side of Fort Worth, I know this all sounds hard to believe.but you should have been with me the night all this was told to me. so good luck Roanoke PD and I hope you cleaned and disinfected all your squad cars and trucks ! because if you can't keep up with your officers whereabouts then what good are you.

Liked them a lot up until one of there officers started an affair with my wife on duty, His name was Michael Thompson. he started coming to my house on August 25th 2011 here in Roanoke while I was at work He was also married with 5 kids. they were meeting everyday for about 3 hours a day at my house and at an abandoned building outside of town for almost a year, how can any police department miss there officers for that many hours a week!, she worked at Whataburger and dove Creek. She tried to call it off but he kept harasing her and would call in her tag number to find out her address and he would call in all of her friends tag number also. she said that he would follow her all over town using Roanoke Police Department tools to locate her and then stalker her To the point that she had to inform me and the Chief of police about it while he was on vacation with his wife and children, on Aug 2012 it ended .My 6 year old son found a 9 millimeter bullet in my wife's purse and showed it to me ! Not the smartest thing to do with kids around and I only shoot 45 ammo. in my opinion he is a dangerous man and surely does not need to be in  law enforcement ! His name again is Michael Thompson and his adresses arezombiecop79@gmail.com andMDThompson79@gmail.com and he also tries to pick up girls on his Palringo site, as my wife told me everything about him. Maybe time for a Roanoke PD overhaul ? And if I was them, I would have all of their squad cars and SUV's disinfected ! my wife received a DUI in February 2012 and most of the police department knew she was driving around without a license for 3 months especially 1 officer named Gray, my wife claim to none of them cared. He also stole two of my Invicta watches, which I have turned there serial numbers in to the FWPD.

I like them pretty good up until one of their officers named Michael D Thompson started having an affair with my wife. It all started around August 25th 2011 and on that day Michael D Thompson showed up at my house while I was at work. I know all this information because my wife explained all this to me one night and I live across from: Jay Lyndale Hughes school and immediately after she informed me of this affair last year and cried for two days and broke it off between them in June 2012 while he and his family were on vacation up north, she finally had to go to the police chief and report all of this and it is on file, he even tried to text her while he was on vacation. I went to the school and obtained a video from the schools front camera of this individual driving past my house and turning right to hide his vehicle from view then on the video I witnessed him walking to my house and entering. they were rendezvousing there and and abandoned warehouse just outside of Roanoke, in Roanoke PD Chargers and there SUV's ( i hope they used lots of lysol when they clean them )my wife worked at whataburger and dove Creek Restaurant and he only worked 3 nights a week but she claimed he was hanging around her up to 20 hours a week and no one from the Department even realized any of this.! This is a complete lack of control of your cities police department members, he was borderline stalking her using Roanoke Police Department tools to locate her and investigate all of her friends. He also gave her live 9 millimeter ammunition from his Glock service pistol issued to him to by the Roanoke Policemen Department, my 5 year old was looking through his mother's purse and found the ammunition and brought it to me, I knew this was not my amunitions. that's when I started to investigate what my wife was up to, is that really the kind of people we need in a police department ? he gave her all kinds of information about arrest and drug bust before they were engaged in the arrest, he told her everything about the police department their workers and higher rank officials. He also gave his address to her and told her his problem he was having with his wife about his sexual dysfunctions do to his pre ejaculation and relatively small sexual organ problems. He also said he hated his wife's family that live with him on the other side of Fort Worth, where she worked, what she drove and he had 5 kids with his wife. I have all this documented for future reference just in case I get a divorce I will have full custody of my children. My wife also got a DUI in Fort Worth last February and she enlightened a few other officers at dove Creek that she had had her license taken away by Tarrant County Court and the officers told her that they did not care, one in particular her name was Sergeant grey. he gave so much information about about him and his wife and his family you would not believe it, I cannot believe he was ever allowed to be an officer of the law .his name again is Michael Thompson and he freely gave all this information out to my wife. His email addresses areZombiecop79@gmail.com.     mdthompson79@gmail.com. mdthompson79@yahoo.com. and I'm sure he has hotmail and most any other search engine emails, I would be awfully suspicious as of why one man would need so many email accounts. My wife also claimed that he went to several chat sites to talk to other women while his wife is at work at Appleb..., she knew of several sites one being Palringo. if anyone else needs this information I'm not hard to find and a word out to you Mikey, you are a coward and a liar, remember what I emailed you on my wife's phone that night lol, I'll let that wan sink in a little bit and see whatcha do. (probably nothing just like i though)and every time you look in your mirror and put all that rear end Grease on your hair and look yourself in the eye and when you look into your children's eye you will see me saying you are a coward POS, but like I said I am NOT a hard man to find and I'm not going anywhere..but someday you never know, I'm might see you in the mall, Hell i might even post this on your Facebook page one day, or out at a fine diner, but hopefully you won't have my watches on you stole from me, those Invictas, becaus I turned there serial #'s in to the DFWPD.LOL ! O and I almost forgot, you're going to be invited to my divorce court, might want to give a wife a heads up.
