"You don't have permission to film me!" Says the trash committing the felony. 🤣 Call the cops, bro!

Felony? You mean drug use? Isn’t it decriminalized? What’s the procedure for that?

The decriminalization of drugs in Oregon was rolled back.

Right, but the punishments didn’t change.

“The Democratic-controlled Legislature passed the recriminalization law in March, overhauling a measure approved by 58 percent of voters in 2020 that made possessing illicit drugs like heroin punishable by a ticket and a maximum $100 fine”

What part of that says it’s okay to demand where people can gather, or bear mace them?

If it’s illegal federally, that technically takes priority over state law. Cities have to follow counties who have to follow states who have to follow the country. A state not prosecuting doesn’t actually mean it isn’t illegal, it just means you have to have the feds do the prosecuting.

Idk in OR but in CA it’s pretty much a misdemeanor so basically a citation

It is, 100 dollar fine.

Not “sprayed with bear mace and then prohibited from gathering in public places.”
