Does not surprise me to see @ORDOJ's motion fail. As I've been saying for about a week now, the best way to get a judicial order protecting protesters in #PDX is for the @ACLU_OR (or someone else) to pursue a 4th Amendment Class Action. https://twitter.com/conradjwilson/status/1286788609249382400
A number of law professors and I had an interesting thread discussing and debating the merits of the @ORDOJ suit, with quite a bit of skepticism expressed on multiple fronts. https://twitter.com/AndrewMCrespo/status/1285425053790801920
But @ACLU_OR would be in a stronger position, if it was representing nightly protesters who could claim they will be exposed to a widespread practice of unlawful police behavior going forward. https://twitter.com/AndrewMCrespo/status/1286565909231017984
The ACLU won an order on behalf of reporters just last night, based on a very similar theory. https://twitter.com/AndrewMCrespo/status/1286562946005565440
