Hot Water in Sunriver
Is a local businessman stalking police in a resort town in Oregon? Or are the police causing the trouble?
“On a more sinister level, Foster claims that ever since a particularly divisive community meeting in 2007, in which he says he felt he was finally making headway with local leaders, the police have been actively dogging him.
“‘From that day forward, it’s been follow me everywhere I go,’ he says. In one episode, he says he looped through one of Sunriver’s many traffic circles to see if police would continue tailing him. He made it through a couple of times with a cop car close behind. Police, he claims, once videotaped him walking his toddler grandchildren through a grocery store, then putting them in car seats.
“Police even follow him outside their legal patrol area. ‘A disproportionate amount of everything they claim I’ve done, had I done it, has happened outside their jurisdiction,’ Foster says. ‘When you look at the police files, it gets pretty obvious who’s following who.'”
