Are police are stretched to the limit as it is. At the very least the person who calls in a false report should have to reimburse the appropriate agency the cost of the response.

Only if the police themselves who file false reports are also held accountable and not protected by their department. We know it cost us 16k for a cop to file a false report.

People are using false police reports to harass other people. An example of this are people that call CPS to report child abuse when there is none. Happens all the time during divorces

No, more serious!

The penalty for the false report charge should be the same as what ever the penalty is for the reported crime.

I believed that ONLY the interest payments should be forgiven with NO future interest payments applied...!!! Therefore, it should be only an interest free loan. There should be a requirement to pay back the principal ONLY...!!!

The news didn't specify exactly if the new law would be beneficial to the old cases or worse, so hard to say. But, in general, I would say they should be retroactive.

Personally they should have let the law stand the way it was. Stop pampering criminals!

There are people on Oregon's death row that should be executed. Why you ask? Because the voters mandated those be punished for their crimes. Why should one person be allowed to dictate law?

I don't like the new rule, so I really don't want it to be retroactive too.

Nope! Start with a clean-forward slate. And, by all means reinitiate capital punishment for all heinous crimes! Send a message to all who may try but won't considering the dire consequences!

It shouldn't be applied to any cases. We the people voted to have the death penalty in Oregon and voted against eliminating it. Kate Hitler had no right to change things.

That was the punishment when they committed the crime, that is the punishment they should receive. If punishments were stricter, criminals might think twice before committing the crime

There should be no restrictions. Most trials happen with in 6 months of the arrest. After convictions they get 12 months for appeals and then thats it. Chair, gas or shots
