Right now the family of Roberto Lopez is unhappy with the justice system because according to them, one of their neighbors is abusing the process and victimizing them.
According the family, there is a man who lives near them in the Gungulung area of Belize City, and every night, the man parks his vehicle in front of their house before he crosses one of those "London Bridges".
According to them, the vehicle's windshield has been smashed twice, and in both instances, he's accused their family members of doing it.
According to Roberto Lopez, this man has used police to victimize him by bringing criminal charges against him without any evidence. He says that the only thing his is guilty of is having the misfortune of living in the house where the man chooses to park his vehicle.
He told us that he wants to go public with this issue in hopes that the authorities will listen to him:

"He is trying to say that I broke his windshield. I know that the same day that got broken; I know that he would have blamed me for something, but I didn't break anything. I was in my room and when I out because the dogs were making a lot of noise. I came out and saw the windshield broken and I know that he already blame my brother-in-law but this man is saying now that I have threaten him and I haven't threaten that man yet for the ten years that I am living here - we are neighbors. I went to the station voluntarily - giving in myself and making a statement saying that I didn't broke that. Now they are looking for my statement, the police can't find it and now they went at my work and pick me up."
According to Lopez, this man accused his brother-in-law of the same thing, but the case was thrown out of court after several adjournments for which the accuser didn't show up.
