Bill/Issue: OR HB 2050 - Expansion of Forced Identification Before Due Process
- Position: Opposed
- Author: Gov. Brown
Summary: HB 2050 would further the invasion of your privacy by forcing you to produce a palm print upon your arrest for a misdemeanor or felony. HB 2050 is an outright violation of your 4th Amendment right to unreasonable search and seizures. Without proving that you have done something wrong the police can now make allegations against you with palm and fingerprinting science that has been proven to be dangerously flawed. HB 2050 increases the risk that people will be wrongfully jailed and have their rights unduly stripped.
