Exercise caution when visiting Caprock Canyons State Park, particularly if you are a young adult

I am a student at Texas Tech. I wanted to let everyone know, Tech students and Lubbock locals alike, that caution should be exercised when visiting Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway, as the park police there target young adult visitors with highly questionable tactics. Caprock is a truly beautiful park, I would recommend the nature aspect of the park to anyone. I feel compelled, however, to post this warning on the park given its relative proximity to Lubbock. My experience at the park in this week is detailed below.

On Wednesday, November 6th, 2024 at around 3:15 pm I was driving northbound on the main road of Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway, in between the Honey Flat Camping area and the Wild Horse Camping Area. In my rearview mirror, I saw a park police vehicle quickly approach me. The vehicle turned its lights on, and I pulled over. The officer approached my vehicle, and asked for my license and insurance. I complied. The officer later identified himself as Officer Enloe (badge #4985) of the Texas State Park Police. He was a white male, likely in his 50s. Officer Enloe informed me that I had been pulled over for not displaying a park pass. I had printed a park pass at home, and had it on my front passenger seat so that I could place it on my dashboard once I parked at my intended trailhead (North Prong Spur). Enloe was cordial at first, he simply instructed me to tape it to my windshield next time. I apologized and told him I would do so next time. Enloe’s demeanor then changed, he then began to inquire as to whether I had any drugs in the car. Peculiarly, he asked me multiple times if I “had anything legal in the car”.

The emphasis here is on the “legal”, he did not ask me if I had anything “illegal”, he asked if I had anything “legal” in the car. He seemed to be attempting to trick me into saying Yes so that he could search my vehicle. Since I do not do drugs nor even consume alcohol, I answered that I did not have anything illegal in the car. Enloe then accused me of being nervous, and stated that my leg was shaking (it was not). He seemed to be attempting to bait me until I did or said something that would give him grounds to search my car. He began listing off various drugs, and asked me how much of those drugs I have in my vehicle. I continued to state that I do not do drugs or alcohol. Enloe insisted that I roll down my back window so that he could look in my back seat, and I regrettably complied without thinking. At some point, Enloe seemed flustered with the fact that I could not be tricked into confessing to the possession of drugs that did not exist, and he relented. He briefly went back to his vehicle with my license and presumably ran it through his computer. When he returned, I demanded his name and badge number, which he provided.

Google Reviews on Caprock Canyons State Park reveal that others have experienced similar situations. They in particular tend to target young adults. The Park Police at this park seem to have a flagrant disregard for the law, anyone with a baseline education on our Constitution would know that the actions of the Park Police are not acceptable.

Additionally, I posted the above write-up in a Facebook group relating to Texas State Parks with over 300,000 members. Others have commented that they have had similar experiences at this state park.

College student in need of job ASAP

Im a college student currently struggling to pay my fall tuition and I’m really in need of a stable job as soon as possible. I’ve been applying to larger businesses, fast food places, the mall, etc since august and haven’t heard back from anyone. If you know any smaller businesses or local places that are in need of workers and are hiring. Please let me know.

In addition to a regular job I’m also available for side gigs such as dog walking, babysitting, and tutoring in English and History. I’m reliable, hardworking, and am available after 3 M-W-F and after 12 TU-TH. I am CPR certified and use to work as a life guard. So if anyone needs an extra set of hands please let me know.

Thank you so much for reading and I would appreciate any leads, tips and advice y’all have to offer!!

Christmas photos location

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are wanting to take our Christmas photos this weekend and need suggestions on where we can go. Our friend will be taking our pictures so we dont need a photographer but need some suggestions for outdoor/scenic places to take them. Hamilton farms won’t be open until black friday so we can’t go there unfortunately.

Calling all League players

I’m new to Lubbock and I don’t have any friends or family here or nearby. I’m hoping to make some friends in real life that share an interest with me. I like League of Legend, disc golf, and playing live trivia, among other things.

Add me in discord: Mojosmad or directly on LoL: Mojosmad#2103

Hope to meet some more nice folks soon :)

Bar PM live music policy

I read that Bar PM was 21+ after 8, but me and my also underage friends were hoping to see Velvet Grove play there at 10 this weekend. Would the bar let us in if we were just there to watch the band, or they put Xs on our hands or something?

does anyone know where i can take him that won’t break the bank?

Fence Stain Recommendation?

Hello all I have a 4 month old fence (238ft with concrete at the bottom) I want a professional job done and I want it done cleanly. I’ve gotten a bid from what seems like a bigger stain/fence company and it’s pretty high. I don’t mind paying for quality, just wanted to see if anyone had any other buisness that do great work they would recommend. TIA

Vexus in Northwest Lubbock

Opinions on getting Vexus? We are currently with AT&T, and the internet works great even with me working from home & my husband gaming. However, we are not loving the price. We are located in Northwest Lubbock (Frenship area) and are wondering if Vexus is worth the switch!

First Time Homeowner Suggestions - Setting Up Utilities, etc

My wife and I are about to move into our first house. We’ve only ever lived with our parents or in apartments. I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for what electric company to use, what wifi they would recommend, etc. Normally it all gets done by our apartment and we never even have to make a decision so I don’t even know where to start.

Also if there’s any other tips or tricks you would recommend for a first time home owner, we’d really appreciate.
