PORTLAND -- Honking motorists beware -- if you honk your horn for anything other than an emergency, you could get a ticket. Four drivers who recently honked at anti-war demonstrators near City Hall received tickets for up to $77 a piece. According to ORS 815.225, "A person commits the offense of violation of use limits on sound equipment if the person does any of the following: Uses a horn otherwise than as a reasonable warning or makes any unnecessary or unreasonably loud or harsh sound by means of a horn or other warning device." These recent tickets have brought the Portland Police Bureau under fire. The reason -- they haven't ticketed anybody honking for pro-troop and pro-war rallies. Officers stand by their actions, saying they aren�t taking sides. |
