Oregon is the only state in the
union tli.it w ill not allow a pn
lice officer to approach, and
question a person who is about
to commit a crime
beyond disagreement over
the state's law Stannic angrily
rejei led a in arguments that
link his bill with the Los \n
geles beating
"Los Angeles has nothing to
do with this issue." he said
The 1 ’ S Supreme (aiurt has
ruled that a person's race, gen
der or national origin cannot be
used as a basis for reasonable
suspii ion Her atise ot that rul
ing M.mins said that the lull
< ould not be used to justify ra
i nil harassment by police
The court ruled in 1968 that
police can slop and question
people tliev believe are about to
commit a (.rime. In 197.i. how
ever, the Oregon Legislature
adopted .1 strii ter standard that
allows police only to intervene
when a 1 rime is already in pro
gress
Mannix said that under 1 nr
rent law. it a polic e offi« er sees
someone in a dark alley at 2
a in with burglary tools, the of
tii.er cannot stop that person
and ask what they're doing
The bill simply "gives offi
ids the ability to stop anyone
who looks suspicious
