Activist challenges police seizure
A Hamshurg man seeks
the return of computers
taken in drug raids
ALBANY — An embattled mar
ijuana activist has gone to court to
try to get back computers police
took during a drug raid two weeks
ago, seizures his lawyer said vio
late privacy rights and constitu
tional freedoms of speech and as
sociation.
Bill Conde, 55, was charged
with a felony count of marijuana
possession when Linn County
sheriffs deputies found slightly
more than an ounce of marijuana
at his property near Harrisburg on
Sept. 15.
Searching for drug records, au
thorities took computers that
Lonae said he uses to run his red
wood lumber business, as well as
to store political action committee
information. One computer was
used to operate a reader board vis
ible from Interstate 5 that dis
played messages about marijuana
initiatives on the Nov. 3 general
election ballot.
Conde’s attorney, Brian
Michaels, argued Tuesday that au
thorities are going after Conde be
cause of his outspoken political
views.
“There’s no scintilla of probable
cause to hold these records,”
Michaels told Linn County Circuit
Judge Rick McCormick. “There
was no scintilla of probable cause
to have even obtained these
records.”
But sheriffs deputies say the
computers are relevant to their
probe of drug use and drug sales at
the marijuana-themed events,
most recently the three-day
“Cannabis Carnival” over Labor
Day weekend.
“He profits by selling tickets to
events where people know they
can get drugs,” sheriffs Lt. Dar
Holm said Tuesday about Conde.
Holm testified that drug sales
were “rampant, widespread” at
the Cannabis Carnival and said he
believes Conde knew it and profit
ed from it. He noted that Conde
advertised the $10-per-person fes
tival on the Internet with ads that
boasted that there would be 1 'fib
cops there.
Michaels said the computers’
records include names of people
who support marijuana legaliza
tion and lists of people who regis
tered to vote during events held on
Conde’s property.
Now, he said, political contri
butions are drying up and people
who are named in the computer
records fear authorities are going
to harass them.
i( There's no scintilla of
probable cause to hold
these records. There was
no scintilla of probable
cause to have even
obtained these
records.
Brian Michaels
Attorney for Bill Conde
The computers are believed to
hold lists of vendors, and possibly
lists of security guards.
“This investigation is hindering
the political process in the state of
Oregon,” Michaels said.“What
you have is a situation where a lot
of people are going to be investi
gated who are not identified as
criminals.”
undercover narcotics officers
bought drugs, primarily marijua
na, 26 times during the Cannabis
Carnival and witnessed numerous
other drug transactions, according
to the affidavit filed in support of
the search warrant.
“It was a valid seizure for rea
sons of a criminal investigation,”
Linn County deputy district attor
ney George Eder said in court.
