There are increasingly more rights for criminals and fewer rights for law-abiding citizens.

We need to know what these people look like, for identification and safety.

Mugshots are taken however the person is not convicted. Given the number of unarmed people across the US that were shot this year, do you truly believe releasing mugshots of people prior to a hearing where they are connected is a good idea.

Personally, it makes me cringe when KTVZ starts off their nightly newscast with some stringy, greasy-haired creep's picture on my TV screen for being arrested. It's a complete turnoff! I usually fast-forward over everything else to the weather when they start with that. It is gross.

They bias public opinion about the guilt of the arrested. Many times people are arrested & released or the charges are dropped but that mug shot makes us all think they "must have done something". Plus they are just used to shame people as another deterrent to crime. But do they really affect rates?

A two lane split with barriers needs installed from there to La Pine into Klamath County

This is a much need addition for public safety. Widening or extra lane work would cost hundreds of time more.

Our son Micah Borden died right there Sept 29, 20222 i hate that part of the HWY. I also am not happy that you all didn't care when my 23 year old son died there but you all care so much now. It hurts badly.

Our son Micah Borden died there in that same spot September 29,2022. Something needs to be done with that road. He was 23 and died on that road

Unfortunately I know too many people that have lost their lives on this death trap they call a highway. I am scared to death to drive hwy 97 with my family in my vehicle let alone myself driving to work.PLEASE do something before someone else's loved one is lost. Need dividers south end to the north

Absolutely, as traffic volume has increased dramatically! Also due to a need for more safety barriers or a different alignment or separation may be required from Madras to Redmoond. Too many unprotected left turn roads leads to unsafe following or stops❗️

How many more people need to die, before ODOT and the power 's at be on the west side if Oregon pay attention to the safety issues on the central Oregon stretch of Hwy 97! Shame on you!!! Highway 97 is a death trap and ODOT KNOWS IT!!!!

All of Oregon's are highways dangerous.. most passes are two lanes and obviously we have snow..and distracted drivers, which makes head on collisions more likely. I have no idea why there aren't at least road dividers to prevent head on's. Too many deaths...

It's like a bottleneck of traffic thru there. Every time I drive thru, the traffic is really heavy. But trying to cross the highway going west or east is impossible. I usually turn the way of traffic then Take next exit to turn around and go the way I need.
