And the Cherry on Top
As an addendum to Vincent’s post below, I’d also like to note that the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee is considering reinstating sobriety checkpoints. They’d have to amend the state constitution, requiring (yet another) ballot initiative. That’s because in 1987 the Oregon Supreme Court declared sobriety checkpoints unconstitutional, citing “unreasonable search and seizure” or, y’know, whatever.
Along with the ill-considered bicycle registration idea, Oregon now has a trifecta of completely asinine legislation.
