Another end-run around the 4A in Portland

Oopsie... the title was supposed to have question-marks...

Anyway, as if ORS 166.380 wasn't enough... Portland City Code

14C.30.050 Seizure of Dangerous and Deadly Weapons for Safekeeping.
If a police officer reasonably believes that a dangerous or deadly weapon may be used to cause serious harm to any person, the police officer may temporarily seize the weapon for safekeeping. If an officer seizes a weapon under this Section, he or she shall promptly turn the weapon into the Bureau of Police Property/Evidence Division.

Is this simply stating that weapons siezed in accordance with the 4A be immediately turned over to evidence, or is it yet another bypass? Does the 4A require PC or only RAS? This statute would seem to allow RAS...

How does everyone else read this?

I'd read it the same way the US Supreme Ct. would read it.

Municipal ordinances can't suspend the 4th Amendment.

Yeah, what he said. Or you could come to Virginia. I left the land of Birkenstocks, burlap underwear, granola-eating wimps 15 years ago and haven't looked back since.
