Last year when they had the fires in Arizona a man I know was forced to evacuate and according to the Sheriff’s department his door was open so they had to enter the residence and investigate. He returned to a note from the sheriff that he had too many guns.
l think I might have added a paragraph noting that, since this had been brought to his attention, the next occurrance would lead to a complaint to the Justice Department against the officer and the entire chain of command up to and including Police Chief himself for “deprevation of rights under color of law”. The city wouldn’t pay, the individuals would pay with time in jail ... and “ignorance of the law” would be no excuse.
That is a good idea. You could send him an email to that effect.

I do appreciate you bringing this matter to my attention Mr. Weingarten. Thanks...Mike

Chief Sauschuck:
I recently viewed a video which shows Officer J. McDonald illegally
stopping a citizen who was legally exercising his right to bear arms.
It appears that the purpose of the stop was to create a chilling
effect against the exercise of that right.
I believe that better training can prevent the commission of such
illegal and unconstitutional activity by Portland P.D. officers in the
future.
Here is the link to the video:
They don’t have his name. That was the whole point. He refused to give his id and was released.
