This time it is Richard Roberts, No. 1 son of phony faith healer and money-grubbing false prophet Oral Roberts.  Richard was arrested for speeding (93 mph in a 65 mile per hour zone) and driving under the influence.  Here is the news report:

And here is the arrest report:

After the cascade of scandals involving these kinds of con men (e.g. Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton, Eddie Long, etc. etc.), one wonders why there are still people gullible enough to send them money. I hereby nominate Richard Roberts for entry into the Televangelists' Hall of Shame!

Hi BeterCon,

 

While I do not personally care for the people you have named -- I do have to give you the award for Equal Opportunity Trasher!   You go after everyone who does not follow YOUR CHURCH and YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS with equal hate and vengeance.   You get a big, atheist supported "ATTA BOY!" for all your efforts.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Hi Seven,

 

Personally, I think someone should lose their badge for allowing this to be posted on the internet.  How would any of us feel if this were us -- or a member of our family -- and a police officer posted this on the internet?  We all deserve some degree of privacy from such actions.

 

I do not personally care for Mr. Roberts or his approach to the Christian faith.  But, he is entitled to the same degree of privacy as anyone else.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Several years ago I spent about a year one month in Tulsa. At the time, there was a lot of news about how Richard got caught with his hand in the cookie jar - taking money that was supposed to be for the school and using it as his own to finance his big living style.

When I left, it was still going on. Didn't hear much about it around here afterward.

 

Well, folks, in the various states of this nation, we have what are legally classified as "public records." In most, if not all, states, arrest records are classified as public records, subject to disclosure to the press and to anyone else seeking information concerning the particulars of an arrest.  Some states make only one page of an arrest record available, with information on the second page held confidential and not subject to public release.  In any case, if you are arrested, it is going to be no secret in these United States that an officer of the law saw or otherwise knew of something you did that was, or strongly appeared to be in violation of the law.  The lesson, therefore, is NOT to do things that are unlawful or, if you choose to break the law, be clever enough not to get caught. In Richard Roberts’ case, he could kept have kept him out of jail and out of the public records by the simple expedient of not driving 28 miles per hour while under the influence of alcohol.  Alternatively, the most clever thing he could have done would be to have used his considerable ill-gotten wealth to hire a cab to haul his drunken ass home. 

Beter is correct. An arrest report is public record in most if not all states. @Bill Why should an officer lose his or her badge because that county publicizes their records? Did you really think some officer just put it online for fun? If you look closely it was posted to the site by the LA Times. Looks like a reporter gathered the "public record" and made it available. It doesn't matter who you are or who you know if you drive drunk in my opinion. I too am equal opportunity I suppose Bill.

Bill,

 

I pick my targets carefully.  I have followed the egregious Roberts family, including their putrid patriarch, Oral, for over 50 years.  What I have posted does not proceed from any feelings of hate or vengeance.  I need no vengeance against Richard Roberts or his tribe, since I have not been so naive and gullible as to have been suckered out of any of my hard-earned money or any other support for their bogus ministries.  I have long been disgusted at the money-grubbing activities of Oral and Company and I have felt no reservations about saying so, especially when I could dissuade anyone from contributing to their nefarious money-grubbing schemes.

 

It comes as no surprise to me that some unprincipled atheists would use the examples of Oral Roberts, Richard Roberts, Richard's high-fashion, high-living wife or other members of their tribe of false prophets in an effort to castigate Christianity in general.  I am disgusted that the actions of phonies like the Robertses provide this kind of opportunity for critics of Christianity, and you should be too!

 

Instead of presumptuously castigating me for alleged "hate and vengeance," you ought to be adding your voice to those who find much to legitimately criticize and rebuke in the unholy actions of these greed-infested phonies!

Well, Bill, if I had been nailed driving drunk and at 28 MPH over the limit, then once I sobered up, I would not be happy about the world knowing about it, nor should I be.  See above in this string for a little education about PUBLIC RECORDS, and renovate your silly notion that the officer who made the arrest and wrote up the arrest record should have his badge pulled. We need more officers on the roads arresting drunk drivers and hauling their drunk butts in for booking.  We need more reporters monitoring the behavior of false prophets and poseurs like Richard Roberts, so that the public may learn the truth about these lying weasels. We need no carping, ignorant critics demanding that police officers'  badges be pulled for doing their jobs!

Gosh, Billy! You must have smoked some honest weed. I'm surprised you would use such a cartoon to let Contendah know you would love to use your fist on him.

 

Why do you accuse him of going after everyone who does not follow his church & his political views with hate & vengeance when you do it all the time????????? You go so far as to tell us who is going to Hell & who isn't. Gotta love those wolf's in sheep's clothing.

Who uses the roberts? This may be the first time they were mentioned. If the roberts were the only ones doing these things you might have a point. Like RP posted, rob people with a gun and you go to jail, rob them with the "word" and you get rich.

Contendah,

 

I believe the SS# is the most disturbing and the one of most concern. Just because the fact that his arrest lies within the "public release" domain doesn't mean all information collected should be released. It doesn't apply to certain private and personal information, such as this, to be included in the release. Ultimately, someone will bear the responsibility for releasing this information without removing certain privileged information first, that the public has no right to. If they were acting in part on behalf of the Tulsa County Sheriff's Dept, that entity can be held liable for any damages that come about on behalf of this information being released.

Is it ever legal to put someones SSN online or otherwise make it public for all to see? We are always hearing how we should guard our SS numbers. They even took them off drivers licenses years ago. I guess that is the biggest problem I see with this too.

The way I see it it's not the cops fault. The fault lies with whoever made it available online.
