"Rick,
When we talked today you had some specific questions on Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Revised Statutes questions, specifically around ORS 431.181. Like I mentioned, I want to ensure your questions are clear so I can get our attorneys to weigh in. If you send me your specific questions, I will get you answers and then get back to you. I do appreciate your patience in trying to explain what your concerns are. As I mentioned there are several ways to interpret certain laws and we like to leave that to our experts who keep up on the current case law and decisions from the courts.
Thank you again,
John"
_________________________________________________
John, I very much appreciate your patience and correspondence, but let's be clear, I called to press charges/file a criminal report, not to ask questions, nor is that for you to decide per your own policies. I understand and comprehend what I am reading with no issues, and will proceed "pro se" against the entire department if you guys cannot follow your own policies. I do not wish any harm on the Sheriff's department, I am a fervent LEO supporter, but I am also a Veteran and OATHKEEPER. I DID NOT FIGHT TO COME HOME TO ENDORSED SLAVERY.
We the people of the State of Oregon to the end that Justice be established,
order maintained, and liberty perpetuated, do ordain this Constitution.—
ARTICLE I
BILL OF RIGHTS
Sec.
1. Natural rights inherent in people
2. Freedom of worship
3. Freedom of religious opinion
...
8. Freedom of speech and press
9. Unreasonable searches or seizures
10. Administration of justice
...
20. Equality of privileges and immunities of citizens
...
34. Slavery or involuntary servitude
Section 1. Natural rights inherent in people. We declare that all men, when they form a social compact are equal in right: that all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; and they have at all times a right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.—
Section 2. Freedom of worship. All men shall be secure in the Natural right, to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences.—
Section 3. Freedom of religious opinion. No law shall in any case whatever control the free exercise, and enjoyment of religeous [sic] opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience.—
Section 8. Freedom of speech and press. No law shall be passed restraining the free expression of opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write, or print freely on any subject whatever; but every person shall be responsible for the abuse of this right.—
Section 9. Unreasonable searches or seizures. No law shall violate the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search, or seizure; and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath, or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or thing to be seized.—
Section 10. Administration of justice. No court shall be secret, but justice shall be administered, openly and without purchase, completely and without delay, and every man shall have remedy by due course of law for injury done him in his person, property, or reputation.—
Section 20. Equality of privileges and immunities of citizens. No law shall be passed granting to any citizen or class of citizens privileges, or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.—
Section 34. Slavery or involuntary servitude. There shall be neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude in the State, otherwise than as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.— [Added to Bill of Rights as unnumbered section by vote of the people at time of adoption of the Oregon Constitution in accordance with section 4 of Article XVIII thereof](ORS 163.263¹
Subjecting another person to involuntary servitude in the second degree)
No competent(OAR requirement) man can say that religious rights are NOT being violated by the mask mandate(and any public accommodation/business vaccine mandates), and the mandate itself AND any signage(ORS 659A.409) is in fact COERCION and EXTORTION by ORS definition.
The only reason anyone is getting away with this, is because WCSO and all other oregon "Law Enforcement"(You have to actually ENFORCE THEM) are FAILING at your jobs, and worse, you believe you must consult your lawyer before making a LAWFUL action, that is grounds enough in my eyes, to find the sheriff's office incompetent of handling ORS related issues, which are at the COMPETENCY AND DISCRETION of the OFFICER and POLICIES by which he is BOUND BY ORS.
YOU CANNOT MANDATE ANYTHING MEDICAL OVER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, NOR CAN YOU LAWFULLY ALLOW THE MANDATE TO BE PUBLISHED. You are, by ORS(your binding book - NOT YOUR DEPT LAWYER) guilty of ORS 162.405¹
Official misconduct in the second degree BY WAY OF ORS 163.275¹ - Coercion, UNTIL action is taken(ORS 163.285¹
Defense to coercion). You cannot LAWFULLY ignore crimes being committed and reported, per your own policies, federal US code, the constitution(s), and your SWORN OATH(perjury is a felony as well).

JURISDICTION AND MUTUAL AID
Policy 101-R06 (05/31/19)
This policy applies to all certified law enforcement deputies and reserves.
1. Oregon Revised Statutes Govern Peace Officer Authority in Oregon.
Commissioned deputy sheriffs have full power and arrest authority as peace officers within the
boundaries of the State of Oregon pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes. (Not the dept. Lawyer - THEY CAN BE CORRUPT TOO)
2. Primary Jurisdiction Includes Unincorporated Washington County.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has law enforcement jurisdiction throughout
Washington County, but its primary law enforcement focus is in the unincorporated areas.
Washington County is bounded by the counties of Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Multnomah,
Tillamook, and Yamhill. Incorporated municipalities wholly or partly within Washington County
are: Banks, Beaverton, Cornelius, Durham, Forest Grove, Gaston, Hillsboro, King City, Lake
Oswego, North Plains, Portland, Rivergrove, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin, and Wilsonville. An
official map detailing the County’s boundaries is kept in the Washington County Consolidated
Communications Agency and in various locations throughout the Sheriff’s Office.
3. The Sheriff and Municipalities Within the County have Concurrent Jurisdiction.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has concurrent law enforcement jurisdiction with all
incorporated municipal police agencies within the County under ORS Chapter 133. However,
the Sheriff’s Office is primarily responsible for law enforcement in the unincorporated areas of
the County and in certain cities when under contract.
A deputy sheriff may initiate law enforcement action within a municipality when the deputy
reasonably believes that action is necessary. If a deputy initiates action that has the potential for
local jurisdiction response or an immediate threat to public safety, the deputy is encouraged to
advise the municipal agency with jurisdiction via dispatch or by contacting them directly.
4. Inter-Governmental Agreements (IGA) Govern Mutual Aid to Neighboring Jurisdictions
in Emergency Situations.
Cooperative enforcement projects or activities simply involving staff from the WCSO and other
agencies are not considered mutual aid and do not require the execution of a separate IGA or
memoranda of understanding (MOU). Examples of cooperative enforcement efforts are Driving
Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) and traffic saturation, curfew sweeps, special events,
etc.
5. Interagency Teams and Task Forces Conform to Agreements Among Participating
Agencies.
Examples of special teams and task forces include:
Crisis Negotiations Unit
Interagency Firearms and Skills Training (IFAST)
Mobile Field Force (MFF)
Tactical Negotiations Team (TNT)
Westside Interagency Narcotics Team (WIN)

259-008-0300 Grounds for Denial, Revocation or Emergency Suspension of Public Safety Professional Certifications
(3) Discretionary Denial or Revocation of a Public Safety Professional’s Certifications.
(a) The Department may deny or revoke a public safety professional’s certifications based upon a finding that the public safety professional engaged in conduct that includes any or all of the following elements:
(A) Dishonesty. Dishonesty is intentional conduct that includes untruthfulness, dishonesty by admission or omission, deception, misrepresentation, falsification or reckless disregard for the truth;
(B) Misuse of Authority. Misuse of Authority is intentional conduct that includes the use or attempted use of one’s position or authority as a public safety professional to obtain a benefit, avoid a detriment or harm another; or
(C) Misconduct.
(i) Misconduct includes conduct that violates criminal laws, conduct that threatens or harms persons, property or the efficient operations of any agency, or discriminatory conduct;
(ii) For the purposes of this rule, discriminatory conduct includes a pattern of conduct or a single egregious act that evidences knowing and intentional discrimination based on the perception of a person’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or any protected class as defined by state or federal law, and would lead an objectively reasonable person to conclude that the public safety professional cannot perform the duties of office in a fair and impartial manner.
(b) For the purposes of this rule, conduct subject to discretionary review includes, but is not limited to:
(A) A criminal disposition when the criminal disposition is not a conviction constituting mandatory grounds as defined in section (2) of this rule;
(B) Conduct related to an arrest, a criminal citation to appear or its equivalent, or a criminal disposition;
(C) Conduct related to circumstances concurrent to a separation of employment from a certifiable position such as, but not limited to, investigation, settlement agreement or allegations of misconduct;
(D) Conduct that violates the standards of student conduct defined in OAR 259-012-0010;
(E) Falsification of any information on any documents submitted to the Board or the Department; or
(F) Conduct identified through receipt or discovery of information that would lead an objectively reasonable person to conclude that the public safety professional violated Board established employment, training, or certification standards for public safety professionals.
(c) Review of discretionary criminal dispositions applies to criminal dispositions that occurred on or after January 1, 2001. The Department will not open a case to review criminal dispositions that occurred prior to January 1, 2001.
(4) The Department will not open a case on a criminal disposition or conduct that was previously reviewed by the Department, a Policy Committee or the Board and determined not to violate standards for public safety professional certification or resulted in no action to deny or revoke certification using the administrative rules in effect at the time of the review.
(a) Nothing in this rule precludes the Department from opening a case upon discovery of additional mandatory or discretionary grounds for denial or revocation.
(b) Nothing in this rule precludes the Department, a Policy Committee or the Board from considering previous criminal dispositions or conduct as an aggravating circumstance in a separate discretionary case review.
(5) The moral fitness standards defined in administrative rule in effect on the date the Department or the Board determined that the applicant or public safety professional was unfit for certification will continue to apply until the Final Order has been issued and all appeal rights have been exhausted regardless of whether the moral fitness standards have been subsequently amended or repealed.
(6) Emergency Suspension. The Department must issue an Emergency Suspension Order immediately suspending a public safety professional’s certifications when a Policy Committee, the Board or the Board’s Executive Committee finds that there is a serious danger to public health and safety.
(7) Any Board or Department action to deny, revoke or emergency suspend a public safety professional’s certifications will be administered in accordance with OAR 259-008-0300 through OAR 259-008-0340 and the applicable provisions of the Attorney General’s Model Rules of Procedure adopted under OAR 259-005-0015.

PRIMARY PRINCIPLES
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) does not condone biased policing during any
enforcement effort or in the form of disparate treatment in the delivery of any service. Our

and the law. We provide ongoing training for staff and monitor data and complaints regularly for
compliance.
1. Biased-Based Policing, as Described in this Policy, is Prohibited.
2. Deputies Will Take Equivalent Enforcement Actions and Provide Equal Services to All
Persons in the Same or Similar Circumstances.

Authority, in Accordance With the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution
and the Oregon Constitution.
People in the community shall only be subjected to stops, seizures or detentions under a lawful
authority for police action, such as probable cause for an arrest or non-criminal violation and
reasonable suspicion for a criminal stop. Evidence seizures or confiscation of assets as
proceeds or instruments of a crime must have a criminal nexus and be based upon probable
cause.

GENERAL CONDUCT
Policy #207-R09 (09/30/20)
Applies to all staff.
Public. Any person who is not Sheriff’s Office staff.
Staff. Employees, reserve deputies, volunteers, interns, and contract employees of the Sheriff’s
Office.
The public entrusts Washington County Sheriff's Office staff to provide quality public service
based on the highest ethical and professional standards. The community expects staff to take
pride in their commitment to serve, and to uphold high standards of personal conduct, both on
and off duty.
1. Professional Conduct
Staff will conduct themselves in the discharge of their duties and their relations with the public
and each other in a tactful and professional manner.
Staff must not publicly criticize the Sheriff's Office, its policies, programs, actions, or staff.
Nor must they perform any acts or make any written or oral statements that would impair or
diminish the orderly and effective operation, supervision, or discipline of the Sheriff’s Office.
Staff may comment on matters related to the Sheriff's Office that are of general public
concern to the community after taking reasonable steps to check the truth of the facts. If a
staff member is not speaking as an official representative of the Sheriff's Office, the staff
member must clearly state that he or she speaks only as a private citizen.
Staff must conduct themselves, on duty and off duty, in a manner that, in the mind of a
reasonable person, does not damage the positive public image, integrity, or reputation of the
Sheriff's Office.
2. Truthfulness
Absent legitimate safety or investigative purposes, staff must not lie, give misleading
information, withhold information with the intent to deceive, or falsify written, verbal, or electronic
communications in official reports or in their actions with another person or organization. Staff
will impart the whole truth when giving testimony or rendering an official report or statement.
Examples of situations where giving false information may be acceptable would include hostage
situations or when protecting the identity of informants or when performing undercover duties.
3. Courtesy and Respect
Staff must be respectful, courteous, diplomatic, and civil with the public and each other.
Staff will refrain from using coarse, loud, indecent, profane, condescending, insolent, or
unnecessarily harsh language.
Staff will maintain command bearing and strive to maintain a professional relationship with
the public.

4. Respect for Diversity
Staff must show respect for the diversity of our community and coworkers. Derogatory remarks,
gestures, or other negative actions against anyone based on his or her nationality, race,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, disability, veteran’s status, or age are
prohibited.
5. Cooperation
Staff members are expected to seek affirmative ways to cooperate and work with each other,
public officials, and staff of other agencies to deliver lawful, effective, efficient, and safe
services.
Staff must make every attempt to understand the duties and responsibilities of other
Sheriff’s Office staff. They must consult with those staff when actions may reasonably affect
their duties and responsibilities.
In the performance of their duties, staff must help their coworkers when a request or need is
made known.
6. Rumors
Staff must not spread rumors (circulate a story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth) about
Sheriff’s Office policies, activities, staff, public events, or crimes. Reporting possible staff
misconduct or concerning behaviors to a supervisor is required and will not be considered
spreading rumors.
7. Knowledge and Enforcement of Laws
All staff will know the law and act, within their authority, to enforce all state and local laws and
ordinances. If any staff is granted authority to enforce federal law or directed by a federal judge
to take action, staff will act within their statutory authority and WCSO policy.
8. Knowledge and Enforcement of Policies and Orders
All staff will be knowledgeable of County and Sheriff’s Office policies, procedures, and orders
that apply to their duties. Any staff member who questions the clarity or intent of a policy,
procedure, or order will seek immediate clarification through the chain of command. Staff
members will, within their authority, enforce County and Sheriff’s Office policies, procedures, and
orders.
9. Record Confidentiality
Staff must maintain the confidentiality of all records, official reports, or statements within the
restrictions of federal or state law. Staff must not grant confidentiality if federal or state law
mandates openness on a specific record or meeting.
10. Protection of Records
Staff must not remove, make copies, divulge, alter or enter false data or make personal use of
any records, reports, letters, documents, recording tapes, pictures, criminal justice files, or other
official files, except in the course of official business, as authorized by law, or as the Sheriff
directs. Prohibited personal use includes viewing reports or other sensitive documents absent a
job-related need or purpose.

Bennett v. Boggs, 1 Baldw 60, “Statutes that violate the plain and obvious principles of common right and common reason are null and void”. Would we not say that these judicial decisions are straight to the point –that there is no lawful method for government to put restrictions or limitations on rights belonging to the people? Other cases are even more straight forward: “The assertion of federal rights, when plainly and reasonably made, is not to be defeated under the name of practice.”
Davis v. Wechsler , 263 US 22, 24. “Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.”
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491. “The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.”
Miller v. US, 230 F 486, 489. “There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of constitutional rights.”
Sherer v. Cullen , 481 F 946. We could go on, quoting court decision after court decision, however, the Constitution itself answers our question � Can a government legally put restrictions on the rights of the American people at anytime, for any reason? The answer is found in Article Six of the U.S. Constitution: Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 426, 491; 86 S. Ct. 1603 “Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no ‘rule making’ or legislation which would abrogate them.”
Norton v. Shelby County , 118 U.S. 425 p. 442
“An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.”
Sherar v. Cullen , 481 F. 2d 946 (1973)
“There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of his exercise of constitutional rights.”
Simmons v. United States , 390 U.S. 377 (1968)
“The claim and exercise of a Constitution right cannot be converted into a crime”… “a denial of them would be a denial of due process of law”.
Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 78 S. Ct. 1401 (1958)
Note: Any judge who does not comply with his oath to the Constitution of the United States wars against that Constitution and engages in acts in violation of the supreme law of the land. The judge is engaged in acts of treason. The U.S. Supreme Court has stated that “no state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it”. See also In Re Sawyer, 124 U.S. 200 (188); U.S. v. Will, 449 U.S. 200, 216, 101 S. Ct. 471, 66 L. Ed. 2d 392, 406 (1980); Cohens v. Virginia, 19 U.S. (6 Wheat) 264, 404, 5 L. Ed 257 (1821).
Hoffsomer v. Hayes, 92 Okla 32, 227 F. 417 “The courts are not bound by an officer’s interpretation of the law under which he presumes to act.”
Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (2 Cranch) 137, 180 (1803) “… the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts,as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” “In declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned; and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank”. “All law (rules and practices) which are repugnant to the Constitution are VOID”. Since the 14th Amendment to the Constitution states “NO State (Jurisdiction) shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the rights, privileges, or immunities of citizens of the United States nor deprive any citizens of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, … or equal protection under the law”, this renders judicial immunity unconstitutional.
Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 94 S. Ct. 1683, 1687 (1974) Note: By law, a judge is a state officer. The judge then acts not as a judge, but as a private individual (in his person). When a judge acts as a trespasser of the law, when a judge does not follow the law, the Judge loses subject-matter jurisdiction and the judges’ orders are not voidable, but VOID, and of no legal force or effect. The U.S. Supreme Court stated that “when a state officer acts under a state law in a manner violative of the Federal Constitution, he comes into conflict with the superior authority of that Constitution, and he is in that case stripped of his official or representative character and is subjected in his person to the consequences of his individual conduct. The State has no power to impart to him any immunity from responsibility to the supreme authority of the United States.”
Miller v. U.S., 230 F. 2d. 486, 490; 42
“There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one, because of his exercise of constitutional rights.”
Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105
“No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.”
Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262
“If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.”
Brinegar v. U.S.,388 US 160 (1949) Probable Cause to Arrest – Provides details on how to determine if a crime has been or is being committed.
Carroll v. U.S., 267 US 132 (1925) Probable Cause to Search – Provides details on the belief that seizable property exists in a particular place or on a particular person.
Draper v. U.S. (1959) Probable cause is where known facts and circumstances, of a reasonably trustworthy nature, are sufficient to justify a man of reasonable caution in the belief that a crime has been or is being committed. Reasonable man definition; common textbook definition; comes from this case.
Davis v. Wechler, 263 U.S. 22, 24; Stromberb v. California, 283 U.S. 359; NAACP v. Alabama, 375 U.S. 449 “The assertion of federal rights, when plainly and reasonably made, are not to be defeated under the name of local practice.”
Elmore v. McCammon (1986) 640 F. Supp. 905 “… the right to file a lawsuit pro se is one of the most important rights under the constitution and laws.”
Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972) “Allegations such as those asserted by petitioner, however in artfully pleaded, are sufficient”… “which we hold to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.”
Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421 (1959); Picking v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 151 Fed 2nd 240 ; Pucket v. Cox,456 2nd 233 Pro se pleadings are to be considered without regard to technicality; pro se litigants’ pleadings are not to be held to the same high standards of perfection as lawyers.
Picking v. Pennsylvania Railway, 151 F.2d. 240, Third Circuit Court of Appeals The plaintiff’s civil rights pleading was 150 pages and described by a federal judge as “inept”. Nevertheless, it was held “Where a plaintiff pleads pro se in a suit for protection of civil rights, the Court should endeavor to construe Plaintiff’s Pleadings without regard to technicalities.”
Puckett v. Cox, 456 F. 2d 233 (1972) (6th Cir. USCA) It was held that a pro se complaint requires a less stringent reading than one drafted by a lawyer per Justice Black in Conley v. Gibson (see case listed above, Pro Se Rights Section).
Sims v. Aherns, 271 SW 720 (1925) “The practice of law is an occupation of common right.” “Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to
ignorance.”
US v Minker, 350 US 179 at 187(1956) Supreme Court of the United States 1795 “Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them.”
S.C.R. 1795, Penhallow v. Doane’s Administraters (3 U.S. 54; 1 L.Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54), “The prosecutor is not a witness; and he should not be permitted to add to the record either by subtle or gross improprieties. Those who have experienced the full thrust of the power of government when leveled against them know that the only protection the citizen has is in the requirement for a fair trial.”
Donnelly v. Dechristoforo, 1974.SCT.41709 ¶ 56; 416 U.S. 637 (1974) McNally v. U.S., 483 U.S. 350, 371-372, Quoting U.S. v Holzer, 816 F.2d. 304, 307 Fraud in its elementary common law sense of deceit… includes the deliberate concealment of material information in a setting of
fiduciary obligation. A public official is a fiduciary toward the public,… and if he deliberately conceals material information from them he is guilty of fraud.
“The law requires proof of jurisdiction to appear on the record of the administrative agency and all administrative proceedings.”
Hagans v Lavine 415 U. S. 533. “A judgment rendered by a court without personal jurisdiction over the defendant is void. It is a nullity.”
Sramek v. Sramek, 17 Kan. App 2d 573, 576-7, 840 P. 2d 553 (1992) rev. denied 252 Kan. 1093(1993) “The law provides that once State and Federal jurisdiction has been challenged, it musts be proven.”

He is not bound by any institutions formed by his fellowmen without his consent.”
CRUDEN vs. NEALE, 2 N.C. 338 2 S.E. 70 “Corpus delecti consists of a showing of “1) the occurrence of the specific kind of injury and 2) someone’s criminal act as the cause of the injury.”
Johnson v. State, 653 N.E.2d 478, 479 (Ind. 1995). “State must produce corroborating evidence of “corpus delecti,” showing that injury or harm constituting crime occurred and that injury or harm was caused by someone’s criminal activity.”
Jorgensen v. State, 567 N.E.2d 113, 121. “To establish the corpus delecti, independent evidence must be presented showing the occurrence of a specific kind of injury and that a criminal act was the cause of the injury.”

TREZEVANT CASE DAMAGE AWARD STANDARD
“Evidence that motorist cited for traffic violation was incarcerated for 23 minutes during booking process, even though he had never been arrested and at all times had sufficient cash on hand to post bond pending court disposition of citation, was sufficient to support finding that municipality employing officer who cited motorist and county board of criminal justice, which operated facility in which motorist was incarcerated, had unconstitutionally deprived motorist of
his right to liberty. 42 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1983.” Trezevant v. City of Tampa (1984) 741 F.2d 336, hn. 1 “Jury verdict of $25,000 in favor of motorist who was unconstitutionally deprived of his liberty when incarcerated during booking process following citation for traffic violation was not excessive in view of evidence of motorist’s back pain during period of incarceration and jailor’s refusal to provide medical treatment, as well as fact that motorist was clearly entitled to compensation for incarceration itself and for mental anguish that he had suffered from entire episode. 42 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1983.” Trezevant v. City of Tampa (1984) 741 F.2d 336, hn. 5

No license or permission is required for TRAVEL when such TRAVEL IS NOT for the purpose of [COMMERCIAL] PROFIT OR GAIN on the open highways operating under license IN COMMERCE. “The rights of the individuals are restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government.”
City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944 “To take away all remedy for the enforcement of a right is to take away the right itself. But that is not within the power of the State.”
Poindexter v. Greenhow, 114 U.S. 270, 303 (1885). Brady v. U.S., 397 U.S. 742, 748, (1970) “Waivers of Constitutional Rights, not only must they be voluntary, they must be knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness.”
Carnley v. Cochran, 369 U.S. 506, 516 (1962), “Presuming waiver from a silent record is impermissible. The record must show, or there must be an allegation and evidence which show, that an accused was offered counsel but intelligently and understandingly rejected the offer. Anything less is not waiver.”
Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 78 S.Ct. 1401 (1958). “No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents.” “The individual, unlike the corporation, cannot be taxed for the mere privilege of existing. The corporation is an artificial entity which owes its existence and charter powers to the state; but, the individual’s rights to live and own property are natural rights for the enjoyment of which an excise cannot be imposed.”
Redfield v Fisher, 292 P 813, at 819 [1930] “…an officer may be held liable in damages to any person injured in consequence of a breach of any of the duties connected with his office…The liability for nonfeasance, misfeasance, and for malfeasance in office is in his ‘individual’ , not his official capacity…”

“Fraud destroys the validity of everything into which it enters,”
Nudd v. Burrows, 91 U.S 426. “Fraud vitiates everything”
Boyce v. Grundy, 3 Pet. 210 “Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents and even judgments.”
U.S. v. Throckmorton, 98 US 61 WHEREAS, officials and even judges have no immunity (See, Owen vs. City of Independence, 100 S Ct. 1398; Maine vs. Thiboutot, 100 S. Ct. 2502; and Hafer vs. Melo, 502 U.S. 21; officials and judges are deemed to know the law and sworn to uphold the law; officials and judges cannot claim to act in good faith in willful deprivation of law, they certainly cannot plead ignorance of the law, even the Citizen cannot plead ignorance of the law, the courts have ruled there is no such thing as ignorance of the law, it is ludicrous for learned officials and judges to plead ignorance of the law therefore there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, in matters of rights secured by the Constitution for the United States of America. See: Title 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. “When lawsuits are brought against federal officials, they must be brought against them in their “individual” capacity not their official capacity. When federal officials perpetrate constitutional torts, they do so ultra vires (beyond the powers) and lose the shield of immunity.”
Williamson v. U.S. Department of Agriculture, 815 F.2d. 369, ACLU Foundation v. Barr, 952 F.2d. 457, 293 U.S. App. DC 101, (CA DC 1991). “It is the duty of all officials whether legislative, judicial, executive, administrative, or ministerial to so perform every official act as not to violate constitutional provisions.”
Montgomery v state 55 Fla. 97-45S0.879 a. “Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them.”
S.C.R. 1795, Penhallow v. Doane’s Administrators 3 U.S. 54; 1 L.Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54; and, b. “the contracts between them” involve U.S. citizens, which are deemed as Corporate Entities: c. “Therefore, the U.S. citizens residing in one of the states of the union, are classified as property and franchises of the federal government as an “individual entity””, Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Fox, 298 U.S. 193, 80 L.Ed. 1143, 56 S.Ct. 773
Alexander v. Bothsworth, 1915. “Party cannot be bound by contract that he has not made or authorized. Free consent is an indispensable element in making valid contracts.”
HALE v. HENKEL 201 U.S. 43 at 89 (1906) Hale v. Henkel was decided by the united States Supreme Court in 1906. The opinion of the court states: “The “individual” may stand upon “his Constitutional Rights” as a CITIZEN. He is entitled to carry on his “private” business in his own way. “His power to contract is unlimited.” He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no duty to the State, since he receives nothing there from, beyond the protection of his life and property. “His rights” are such as “existed” by the Law of the Land (Common Law) “long antecedent” to the organization of the State”, and can only be taken from him by “due process of law”, and “in accordance with the Constitution.” “He owes nothing” to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights.”
HALE V. HENKEL 201 U.S. 43 at 89 (1906) Hale v. Henkel is binding on all the courts of the United States of America until another Supreme Court case says it isn’t. No other Supreme Court case has ever overturned Hale v. Henkel None of the various issues of Hale v. Henkel has ever been overruled since 1906, Hale v. Henkel has been cited by the Federal and State Appellate Court systems over 1,600 times! In nearly every instance when a case is cited, it has an impact
on precedent authority of the cited case. Compared with other previously decided Supreme Court cases, no other case has surpassed Hale v. Henkel in the number of times it has been cited by the courts. “The rights of the individuals are restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government.”
City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944 “An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault
and battery.” (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260). TITLE 18
> PART I > CHAPTER 2 > § 31Definitions (6) Motor vehicle. The term “motor vehicle” means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers, passengers and property, or property or cargo. “Highways are for the use of the traveling public, and all have the right to use them in a reasonable and proper manner; the use thereof is an inalienable right of every citizen.” Escobedo v. State 35 C2d 870 in 8 Cal Jur 3d p.27 The use of the automobile as a necessary adjunct to the earning of a livelihood in modern life requires us in the interest of realism to conclude that the RIGHT to use an automobile on the public highways partakes of the of a liberty within the meaning of the Constitutional guarantees. …” Berberian v. Lussier (1958) 139 A2d 869, 872 “The RIGHT of the citizen to DRIVE on the public street with freedom from police interference, unless he is engaged in suspicious conduct associated in some manner with criminality is a FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT which must be protected by the courts.”
People v. Horton 14 Cal. App. 3rd 667 (1971) “A “US Citizen” upon leaving the District of Columbia becomes involved in “interstate commerce”, as a “resident” does not have the common-law right to travel, of a Citizen of one of the several states.”
Hendrick v. Maryland S.C. Reporter’s Rd. 610-625. (1914) “One who DRIVES an automobile is an operator within meaning of the Motor Vehicle Act.”
Pontius v. McClean 113 CA 452 “The word ‘operator’ shall not include any person who solely transports his own property and who transports no persons or property for hire or compensation.” Statutes at Large California Chapter 412 p.833 “The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horse-drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Civil Rights
Primary tabs
Overview
A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury.
Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of the individual's membership in a particular group or class. Various jurisdictions have enacted statutes to prevent discrimination based on a person's race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances sexual orientation.
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
People often confuse civil rights and civil liberties. Civil rights refer to legal provisions that stem from notions of equality. Civil rights are not in the Bill of Rights; they deal with legal protections. For example, the right to vote is a civil right. A civil liberty, on the other hand, refers to personal freedoms protected by the Bill of Rights. For example, the First Amendment's right to free speech is a civil liberty.
Reconstruction Era
The Reconstruction Era was the period following the Civil War in which the federal government attempted to pass laws aimed at helping victims of slavery, primarily African-Americans.
Reconstruction Amendments
The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution constituted the largest expansion of civil rights in the history of the United States. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed involuntary servitude. The Fourteenth Amendment made it illegal for a state to pass laws "which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States... [or] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, [or] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The Fifteenth Amendment prohibits the U.S. or any state to deny a citizen the right to vote based on that person's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." These Amendments are called the Reconstruction Amendments because they were passed during the Reconstruction Era.
Some Reconstruction Laws
During the Reconstruction Era, Congress enacted numerous civil rights statutes. Many of these are still in force today and protect individuals from discrimination and from the deprivation of their civil rights. Section 1981 of Title 42 (Equal Rights Under the Law) protects individuals from discrimination based on race in making and enforcing contracts, participating in lawsuits, and giving evidence. See 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Other statutes, derived from acts of the reconstruction era, that protect against discrimination include: Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1983); Conspiracies to Interfere With Civil Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1985); Conspiracy Against Rights of Citizens (See 18 U.S.C. § 241); Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, (See 18 U.S.C. § 242); The Jurisdictional Statue for Civil Rights Cases (See 28 U.S.C. § 1443); and Peonage Abolished (See 42 U.S.C. § 1994).
Civil Rights Act of 1964
The most prominent civil rights legislation since Reconstruction is the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Congress, using its power to regulate interstate commerce, enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 under Title 42, Chapter 21 of the United States Code. Discrimination based on "race, color, religion, or national origin" in public establishments that have a connection to interstate commerce or are supported by the state is prohibited. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000a. Public establishments include places of public accommodation (e.g., hotels, motels, and trailer parks), restaurants, gas stations, bars, taverns, and places of entertainment in general. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent legislation also declared a strong legislative policy against discrimination in public schools and colleges which aided in desegregation. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination where the employer is engaged in interstate commerce. Congress has passed numerous other laws dealing with employment discrimination.
The judiciary, most notably the Supreme Court, plays a crucial role in interpreting the extent of the civil rights, as a single Supreme Court ruling can alter the recognition of a right throughout the nation. The federal courts have been crucial in mandating and supervising school desegregation programs and other programs established to rectify state or local discrimination.
Twenty-Fourth Amendment
The Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1964, banned poll taxes. A poll tax is a tax imposed on anybody who votes at a polling place. Poll taxes discouraged poorer citizens from voting, disproportionately affecting minorities. As such, poll taxes interfere with the civil right of voting.
Voting Rights Act of 1965
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is codified in 52 U.S. Code § 10101. The act states: "All citizens of the United States who are otherwise qualified by law to vote at any election by the people . . . shall be entitled and allowed to vote at all such elections, without distinction of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Civil Rights Act of 1968
The Civil Rights Act of 1968 is also known as the Fair Housing Act. This Act protects against numerous sorts of housing discrimination, including rentals, sales, real estate transactions, and brokerage services. The Act "prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin." Congress also created housing discrimination protections for individuals with disabilities through the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. These Acts, in essence, expanded upon the scope of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Congress also expanded housing protection to the elderly in the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995.
State Civil Rights Efforts
In addition to federal guarantees, some states provide further protection of civil rights. New York's New York State Human Rights Law is one such example.
Numerous international agreements and declarations recognize human rights. The United States has signed some of these agreements, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Disenfranchisement
Disenfranchisement refers to the removal of civil rights, primarily the the right to vote. States are able to place certain restrictions on who can vote, including restrictions based upon someone's criminal record.
The Supreme Court affirmed in Richardson v. Ramirez, 418 U.S. 24 (1974) that under Section Two, states can prohibit convicted felons from voting after serving their prison sentence.
Vermont and Maine do not practice felon disenfranchisement; Florida, Virginia, Iowa, and Kentucky do not allow felons to vote; the other 44 states have some sort of criminal disenfranchisement law.
As an example, Florida has its felon disenfranchisement law included in its state Constitution. As such, in order to change the policy, the state would need to pass a state constitutional amendment.

(a) Rule of interpretation. Except as otherwise provided in this part, this part shall not be construed to apply a lesser standard than the standards applied under title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791) or the regulations issued by Federal agencies pursuant to that title.
(b) Section 504. This part does not affect the obligations of a recipient of Federal financial assistance to comply with the requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and regulations issued by Federal agencies implementing section 504.
(c) Other laws. This part does not invalidate or limit the remedies, rights, and procedures of any other Federal laws, or State or local laws (including State common law) that provide greater or equal protection for the rights of individuals with disabilities or individuals associated with them.
28 CFR § 36.105 - Definition of “disability.”
(4) Mitigating measures include, but are not limited to:
(i) Medication, medical supplies, equipment, appliances, low-vision devices (defined as devices that magnify, enhance, or otherwise augment a visual image, but not including ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses), prosthetics including limbs and devices, hearing aid(s) and cochlear implant(s) or other implantable hearing devices, mobility devices, and oxygen therapy equipment and supplies;
(ii) Use of assistive technology;
(iii) Reasonable modifications or auxiliary aids or services as defined in this regulation;
(iv) Learned behavioral or adaptive neurological modifications; or
(v) Psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, or physical therapy.
(e) Has a record of such an impairment.
(1) An individual has a record of such an impairment if the individual has a history of, or has been misclassified as having, a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
(2) Broad construction. Whether an individual has a record of an impairment that substantially limited a major life activity shall be construed broadly to the maximum extent permitted by the ADA and should not demand extensive analysis. An individual will be considered to fall within this prong of the definition of “disability” if the individual has a history of an impairment that substantially limited one or more major life activities when compared to most people in the general population, or was misclassified as having had such an impairment. In determining whether an impairment substantially limited a major life activity, the principles articulated in paragraph (d)(1) of this section apply.
(3) Reasonable modification. An individual with a record of a substantially limiting impairment may be entitled to a reasonable modification if needed and related to the past disability.
(f) Is regarded as having such an impairment. The following principles apply under the “regarded as” prong of the definition of “disability” (paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section):
(1) Except as set forth in paragraph (f)(2) of this section, an individual is “regarded as having such an impairment” if the individual is subjected to a prohibited action because of an actual or perceived physical or mental impairment, whether or not that impairment substantially limits, or is perceived to substantially limit, a major life activity, even if the public accommodation asserts, or may or does ultimately establish, a defense to the action prohibited by the ADA.(Business must comply with PROHIBITION FIRST, THEN show defense for prohibited action. Not the VICTIM OF THE PROHIBITED CONDUCT.)
(2) An individual is not “regarded as having such an impairment” if the public accommodation demonstrates that the impairment is, objectively, both “transitory” and “minor.” A public accommodation may not defeat “regarded as” coverage of an individual simply by demonstrating that it subjectively believed the impairment was transitory and minor; rather, the public accommodation must demonstrate that the impairment is (in the case of an actual impairment) or would be (in the case of a perceived impairment), objectively, both “transitory” and “minor.” For purposes of this section, “transitory” is defined as lasting or expected to last six months or less.
(3) Establishing that an individual is “regarded as having such an impairment” does not, by itself, establish liability. Liability is established under title III of the ADA only when an individual proves that a public accommodation discriminated on the basis of disability within the meaning of title III of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12181-12189.
(g) Exclusions. The term “disability” does not include -
(1) Transvestism, transsexualism, pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairments, or other sexual behavior disorders;
(2) Compulsive gambling, kleptomania, or pyromania; or
(3) Psychoactive substance use disorders resulting from current illegal use of drugs.

28 CFR § 36.208 - Direct threat.
§ 36.208 Direct threat.
(a) This part does not require a public accommodation to permit an individual to participate in or benefit from the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of that public accommodation when that individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others.
(b) In determining whether an individual poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, a public accommodation must make an individualized assessment, based on reasonable judgment that relies on current medical knowledge or on the best available objective evidence, to ascertain: The nature, duration, and severity of the risk; the probability that the potential injury will actually occur; and whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices, or procedures or the provision of auxiliary aids or services will mitigate the risk.
28 CFR § 36.104 - Definitions.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/36.104
28 CFR § 36.101 - Purpose and broad coverage.
§ 36.101 Purpose and broad coverage.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this part is to implement subtitle A of title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12181-12189), as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADA Amendments Act) (Pub. L. 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (2008)), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by covered public accommodations and requires places of public accommodation and commercial facilities to be designed, constructed, and altered in compliance with the accessibility standards established by this part.
(b) Broad coverage. The primary purpose of the ADA Amendments Act is to make it easier for people with disabilities to obtain protection under the ADA. Consistent with the ADA Amendments Act's purpose of reinstating a broad scope of protection under the ADA, the definition of “disability” in this part shall be construed broadly in favor of expansive coverage to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA. The primary object of attention in cases brought under the ADA should be whether entities covered under the ADA have complied with their obligations and whether discrimination has occurred, not whether the individual meets the definition of “disability.” The question of whether an individual meets the definition of “disability” under this part should not demand extensive analysis.
28 CFR § 36.201 - General.
§ 36.201 General.
(a) Prohibition of discrimination. No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any private entity who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation.
(b) Landlord and tenant responsibilities. Both the landlord who owns the building that houses a place of public accommodation and the tenant who owns or operates the place of public accommodation are public accommodations subject to the requirements of this part. As between the parties, allocation of responsibility for complying with the obligations of this part may be determined by lease or other contract.
(c) Claims of no disability. Nothing in this part shall provide the basis for a claim that an individual without a disability was subject to discrimination because of a lack of disability, including a claim that an individual with a disability was granted a reasonable modification that was denied to an individual without a disability.
28 CFR § 36.206 - Retaliation or coercion.
(a) No private or public entity shall discriminate against any individual because that individual has opposed any act or practice made unlawful by this part, or because that individual made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the Act or this part.
(b) No private or public entity shall coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any individual in the exercise or enjoyment of, or on account of his or her having exercised or enjoyed, or on account of his or her having aided or encouraged any other individual in the exercise or enjoyment of, any right granted or protected by the Act or this part.
(c) Illustrations of conduct prohibited by this section include, but are not limited to:
(1) Coercing an individual to deny or limit the benefits, services, or advantages to which he or she is entitled under the Act or this part;
(2) Threatening, intimidating, or interfering with an individual with a disability who is seeking to obtain or use the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a public accommodation;
(3) Intimidating or threatening any person because that person is assisting or encouraging an individual or group entitled to claim the rights granted or protected by the Act or this part to exercise those rights; or
(4) Retaliating against any person because that person has participated in any investigation or action to enforce the Act or this part.
28 CFR § 36.207 - Places of public accommodation located in private residences.
§ 36.207 Places of public accommodation located in private residences.
(a) When a place of public accommodation is located in a private residence, the portion of the residence used exclusively as a residence is not covered by this part, but that portion used exclusively in the operation of the place of public accommodation or that portion used both for the place of public accommodation and for residential purposes is covered by this part.
(b) The portion of the residence covered under paragraph (a) of this section extends to those elements used to enter the place of public accommodation, including the homeowner's front sidewalk, if any, the door or entryway, and hallways; and those portions of the residence, interior or exterior, available to or used by customers or clients, including restrooms.

I will be forwarding these to every Civil Rights division office email I can find, the US Marshals for non-compliance with the above cited CFR's OAR's ORS's USC's and Acts.
You are also required by your own policies to report this to Pat Garrett and any other supervising officers and open an investigation into BIASED POLICING, as you yourself decided you needed to consult a lawyer in order to read the ORS statutes which are constructed in a manner for you to understand as that is your source of authority per OAR and WCSO PFD policy.
I also placed a call last night to report BIASED BASED policing and was rejected from filing/claiming said policy violation, which itself is BIASED BASED policing per policy. T Amundson took the call with (unknown) supervisor, and TRIED citing the WRONG portion of ORS 431.180 (2) as "justification" of the criminal violation of 431.180 and 431.990. As you can see/read, There is nothing in 431.180 (2) sanitary requirements that would have ANYTHING to do with wearing a mask OVER religious freedom IN FAVOR of a corporation or government(suboordinate to the people).
The fact that a private person must explain the ORS statutes and INALIENABLE RIGHTS and YOUR PERJURY OF OATH BY INCOMPETENCE IN YOUR FIELD, is pretty disgusting.
I will be taking ALL appropriate actions to correct the actions of the Sheriffs Dept.
You are REQUIRED to notify.
Defense limited to enforcement of criminal actions, as you are criminally liable for corporate conduct as of right now.

ORS 162.405¹
Official misconduct in the second degree
A public servant commits the crime of official misconduct in the second degree if the person knowingly violates any statute relating to the office of the person.
(2)Official misconduct in the second degree is a Class C misdemeanor.
ORS 181A.640¹
Grounds for denial, suspension or revocation of application or certification of person or accreditation of program
(1)(c)The public safety officer or instructor does not meet the applicable minimum standards, minimum training or the terms and conditions established under ORS 181A.410 (Minimum standards and training for certification) (1)(a) to (d).
259-008-0300
Grounds for Denial, Revocation or Emergency Suspension of Public Safety Professional Certifications
(3) Discretionary Denial or Revocation of a Public Safety Professional’s Certifications.
(a) The Department may deny or revoke a public safety professional’s certifications based upon a finding that the public safety professional engaged in conduct that includes any or all of the following elements:
(A) Dishonesty. Dishonesty is intentional conduct that includes untruthfulness, dishonesty by admission or omission, deception, misrepresentation, falsification or reckless disregard for the truth;
(B) Misuse of Authority. Misuse of Authority is intentional conduct that includes the use or attempted use of one’s position or authority as a public safety professional to obtain a benefit, avoid a detriment or harm another; or
(C) Misconduct.
(i) Misconduct includes conduct that violates criminal laws, conduct that threatens or harms persons, property or the efficient operations of any agency, or discriminatory conduct;
(ii) For the purposes of this rule, discriminatory conduct includes a pattern of conduct or a single egregious act that evidences knowing and intentional discrimination based on the perception of a person’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or any protected class as defined by state or federal law, and would lead an objectively reasonable person to conclude that the public safety professional cannot perform the duties of office in a fair and impartial manner.

(A) A criminal disposition when the criminal disposition is not a conviction constituting mandatory grounds as defined in section (2) of this rule;

(C) Conduct related to circumstances concurrent to a separation of employment from a certifiable position such as, but not limited to, investigation, settlement agreement or allegations of misconduct;
As I was talking to Todd Baker yesterday and just before I started recording, and WHY I started recording, was because Baker, was being dishonest and untruthful in recognizing the ORS definition of the very crime he was committing in order to ignore my report of felony, which is required by 18 USC 4 to be reported immediately, and reports are required to be taken and acted up with sufficient evidence, which I have and they have ignored, immediately. Thereby causing me continued suffering and are still enabling said suffering by not acting in accordance with Oregon Law, Federal Law, and Local laws and Policies, as well as the Civil Rights act of 1964 title ii and vii, and both OR and US constitutions. My religious liberties are being extorted by ORS definition and any official ignoring the claim of such is committing bias crime in saying that I am uninjured when I have suffered financial loss and psychological damage by way of Coercion of the very officers I am required to report this felony civil rights abuse to. This is egregious official misconduct, extortion by coercion, bribe receiving, criminal compliance, and meets all the standards for criminal liability. The fact that these very officers have no idea what any of these ORS statutes are or what they detail is a policy violation in itself in Washington counties Public Facing Documents, in several chapters, which they are ignoring in favor of each other it seems, which is another policy violation.
On top of all of that, and even worse, Baker started referring to ORS and the Constitutional protections, and the Civil Rights Act of 64 as "rabbit holes" and claimed I had no idea what I was talking about. That is dishonesty in its purest form as I cited written Law, which he refused to read the statutes on, while claiming me to be incorrect in my definition, which I was holding in my hand.
Mitchell came out and observed, but also refused to assist in any way, despite witnessing the policy(and ORS 181) violations, which is Official misconduct, with reasonable cause to intervene, which was not done. I would like criminal charges filed and Mitchell to be a witness as his duty would call for in defense of coercion.
Mitchell - 45654
I have demonstrated MORE than probable cause in every complaint I've brought, only to be told by people that don't have any idea what the laws say, that I have no idea what I'm talking about. THIS IS A MASSIVE LIABILITY ON THE DEPARTMENT.
AND A MASSIVE INJUSTICE TO MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS WHO ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP.
Executive order 20-27 by Kate Brown and OHA is in violation of ORS 431.180 and 431.990, which is a criminal violation, which I have been attempting to report because it is causing every single business to engage in extortion by coercion, and the signage itself is a violation of ORS 659A.
Now not upholding the STATUTE(as required by 162.405) LAWS prohibiting discrimination and discriminatory signage, which DE FACTO extorts peoples choice of saying no by implying they will be charged with violating the Gov orders and therefore face penalty or exclusion, or punishment/removal from employment.
431.180, 431.990, and 659A ALL cover the CRIMINAL illegality and ORS 161 covers LIABILITY of ANYone and EVERYone involved in NOT STOPPING the felony activity. Which is also required by Federal Law 18 US Code 4 - Misprison of Felony, which I also described, and they Also said doesn't apply, despite their own department policies, and every other law and policy, and their oath of office require.
Sims v. Aherns, 271 SW 720 (1925) “The practice of law is an occupation of common right.” “Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to
ignorance.”
Draper v. U.S. (1959) Probable cause is where known facts and circumstances, of a reasonably trustworthy nature, are sufficient to justify a man of reasonable caution in the belief that a crime has been or is being committed. Reasonable man definition; common textbook definition; comes from this case.
City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944 “To take away all remedy for the enforcement of a right is to take away the right itself. But that is not within the power of the State.”
Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 78 S.Ct. 1401 (1958). “No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents.” “The individual, unlike the corporation, cannot be taxed for the mere privilege of existing. The corporation is an artificial entity which owes its existence and charter powers to the state; but, the individual’s rights to live and own property are natural rights for the enjoyment of which an excise cannot be imposed.”
Redfield v Fisher, 292 P 813, at 819 [1930] “…an officer may be held liable in damages to any person injured in consequence of a breach of any of the duties connected with his office…The liability for nonfeasance, misfeasance, and for malfeasance in office is in his ‘individual’ , not his official capacity…”

U.S. v. Throckmorton, 98 US 61 WHEREAS, officials and even judges have no immunity (See, Owen vs. City of Independence, 100 S Ct. 1398; Maine vs. Thiboutot, 100 S. Ct. 2502; and Hafer vs. Melo, 502 U.S. 21; officials and judges are deemed to know the law and sworn to uphold the law; officials and judges cannot claim to act in good faith in willful deprivation of law, they certainly cannot plead ignorance of the law, even the Citizen cannot plead ignorance of the law, the courts have ruled there is no such thing as ignorance of the law, it is ludicrous for learned officials and judges to plead ignorance of the law therefore there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, in matters of rights secured by the Constitution for the United States of America. See: Title 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. “When lawsuits are brought against federal officials, they must be brought against them in their “individual” capacity not their official capacity. When federal officials perpetrate constitutional torts, they do so ultra vires (beyond the powers) and lose the shield of immunity.”

Todd Baker also claimed "That's federal law, that's not us". Again, a policy violation, which in itself is a statute violation, which is official misconduct, and thereby making his statement perjury.
