BREAKING NEWS:
Yesterday a Medford Open Carrier who is a member here (though not a rabid poster) was arrested today and charged with violation of city ordinance on disorderly conduct. He was protesting the speed enforcement radar/photo van 150 yards or so from his house. Het set up a tripod with video and proceeded to protest the van with a sign (and while open carrying of course). The occupant of the van (apparently he's not a cop) confronted him verbally from inside the van and then apparently called the police.
Police response was multiple units and they performed a "felony stop" (i.e. weapons were drawn). After cuffing and stuffing him, they apparently started working on what to charge him with and decided on the disorderly charge, apparently with comments that he had impeded traffic or some such.
He is out on bail and beginning to work the issue. No police report in hand yet and his video, firearm, Oregon CHL and Utah permits are still in police custody "as evidence".
