Sheriff?s Office Declines to Book First Person Arrested by Portland
Police for Violating City?s Camping Rules
The sheriff?s office says it?s not booking people who are arrested for violating city ordinances.
"Last Friday morning, the Portland Police Bureau made its first arrest
under the city?s new time, place and manner rules, which restrict
camping in public rights of way. Officers arrested a man in Northeast Portland who allegedly refused repeated offers of a shelter bed or stay
at a tiny home.
But when officers transported the man to the Multnomah County Detention Center downtown, sheriff?s office personnel who book suspects declined
to process him.
A spokesman for the sheriff?s office, Deputy John Plock, says that?s
because the county jail does not book people who are arrested for
violating city ordinances?just those arrested for felonies or
misdemeanor offenses codified in Oregon Revised Statutes. In other
words, the sheriff?s staff books people arrested for violating state
laws but not city rules."

This is a little something you can play with. With all the
interesting things going on in the world, you guys still manage to be
boring.

Almost as much as you. Anyway, it looks like liberals have put themselves between a rock and a hard place. Why arrest vagrant campers for minor violations and fill up the jails at a cost to the city. And certainly
fining them won’t work. They are vagrants after all.
From my vantage point, liberal policies (legalizing drugs, etc.) have
bitten them on the ass… again. Including the Biden open border policy which is the source of most, if not all, of the fentanyl and deaths from it, in
this country. And the other shoe hasn’t dropped yet. These terrorists who
are in the country will let loose something before the election. Trump is
the last person bad actors want in the oval office.

Biden has no idea what he is doing but he’s really, really good at it.
