      (b) An electronically filed criminal citation with or without a form of complaint is verifiable as being filed by a specific peace officer.

      (c) Members of the public can obtain copies of and review a criminal citation with or without a form of complaint that is electronically filed and maintained under this section in the same manner as the manner used for those filed on paper.

      (3) For a criminal citation with a form of complaint issued under ORS 133.069, the district attorney’s review required by ORS 133.069 and, if necessary, amendments for legal sufficiency, must be completed before the electronic filing of the citation with the form of complaint is made with a court under this section.

Thereupon the warrant and order may be sent by telegraph to any marshal, sheriff, constable or police officer and on receipt of the telegraphic copy thereof, as defined in ORS 165.840, by any such officer, the officer shall have the same authority and be under the same obligations to arrest, take into custody and detain the person as if the original warrant of arrest with the proper direction for its service duly indorsed thereon had been placed in the hands of the officer. The telegraphic copy shall be entitled to full faith and credit and shall have the same force and effect in all courts and places as the original. Prior to indictment or conviction, no such order shall be made by any officer unless in the judgment of the officer there is probable cause to believe the accused person guilty of the offense charged, but the making of such order by any officer is prima facie evidence of the regularity thereof and of all proceedings prior thereto. The original warrant and order, or a copy thereof certified by the officer making the order, shall be preserved in the telegraph office from which the same is sent and in telegraphing the same, the original or the certified copy may be used. [Amended by 1969 c.198 §61; 1991 c.67 §26]

If the sheriff is able to determine the name and address of the owner, the sheriff shall immediately notify the owner by registered or certified mail of the seizure and of the owner’s rights and duties under this section and ORS 133.465.

      (3) A person notified under subsection (2) of this section, or any other person asserting a claim to rightful possession of the vehicle or conveyance seized, except the defendant, may move the court having ultimate trial jurisdiction over any crime charged in connection with the seizure, to return the vehicle or conveyance to the movant.

      (4) The movant shall serve a copy of the motion upon the district attorney of the county in which the vehicle or conveyance is in custody.

If the court does not order the return of the vehicle or conveyance, the movant shall obtain the return only as provided in ORS 133.465.

      (5) If the court orders the return of the vehicle or conveyance to the movant, the movant shall not be liable for any towing or storage costs incurred as a result of the seizure.

(Search and Seizure

Pursuant to Warrant)

 

      133.545 Issuance of search warrant; where executable; form of application. (1) A search warrant may be issued only by a judge. A search warrant issued by a judge of the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals may be executed anywhere in the state. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (2), (3) and (4) of this section, a search warrant issued by a judge of a circuit court may be executed only within the judicial district in which the court is located. A search warrant issued by a justice of the peace may be executed only within the county in which the justice court is located. A search warrant issued by a municipal judge authorized to exercise the powers and perform the duties of a justice of the peace may be executed only in the municipality in which the court is located.

      (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a circuit court judge may authorize execution of a search warrant outside the judicial district in which the court is located, if the judge finds from the application that one or more of the objects of the search relate to an offense committed or triable within the judicial district in which the court is located or that the search involves both conduct that occurred in the judicial district in which the court is located and interrelated conduct that occurred in one or more other judicial districts in this state. If a judge denies a search warrant for interrelated conduct that occurred in more than one judicial district, an application for the same search warrant may not be presented to a judge in another judicial district unless the other judicial district is one in which one or more of the objects of the search relate to an offense committed or triable within the other judicial district. If the warrant authorizes the installation or tracking of a mobile tracking device, the officer may track the device in any county to which it is transported.

      (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a circuit court judge duly assigned pursuant to ORS 1.615 to serve as a judge pro tempore in a circuit court, or a senior judge duly assigned to serve in a circuit court under ORS 1.300 and who has authorization from the presiding judge of that judicial district, may authorize execution of a search warrant in any judicial district in which the judge is assigned to serve as judge pro tempore or as senior judge.

      (4) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a circuit court judge may authorize execution of a search warrant outside the judicial district in which the court is located if the judge finds that:

      (a) The search relates to one of the following offenses involving a victim who was 65 years of age or older at the time of the offense:

      (A) Criminal mistreatment in the first degree as described in ORS 163.205 (1)(b)(D) or (E);

      (B) Identity theft;

      (C) Aggravated identity theft;

      (D) Computer crime;

      (E) Fraudulent use of a credit card;

      (F) Forgery in any degree;

      (G) Criminal possession of a forged instrument in any degree;

      (I) Aggravated theft in the first degree;

      (5) Application for a search warrant may be made only by a district attorney, a police officer or a special agent employed under ORS 131.805.

      (6) The application shall consist of a proposed warrant in conformance with ORS 133.565, and shall be supported by one or more affidavits particularly setting forth the facts and circumstances tending to show that the objects of the search are in the places, or in the possession of the individuals, to be searched. If an affidavit is based in whole or in part on hearsay, the affiant shall set forth facts bearing on any unnamed informant’s reliability and shall disclose, as far as possible, the means by which the information was obtained.

      (7) Instead of the written affidavit described in subsection (6) of this section, the judge may take an oral statement under oath. The oral statement shall be recorded and a copy of the recording submitted to the judge who took the oral statement. In such cases, the judge shall certify that the recording of the sworn oral statement is a true recording of the oral statement under oath and shall retain the recording as part of the record of proceedings for the issuance of the warrant. The recording shall constitute an affidavit for the purposes of this section. The applicant shall retain a copy of the recording and shall provide a copy of the recording to the district attorney if the district attorney is not the applicant.

      (8)(a) In addition to the procedure set out in subsection (7) of this section, the proposed warrant and the affidavit may be sent to the court by facsimile transmission or any similar electronic transmission that delivers a complete printable image of the signed affidavit and proposed warrant. The affidavit may have a notarized acknowledgment, or the affiant may swear to the affidavit by telephone. If the affiant swears to the affidavit by telephone, the affidavit may be signed electronically. A judge administering an oath telephonically under this subsection must execute a declaration that recites the manner and time of the oath’s administration. The declaration must be filed with the return.

      (b) When a court issues a warrant upon an application made under paragraph (a) of this subsection:

      (A) The court may transmit the signed warrant to the person making application under subsection (5) of this section by means of facsimile transmission or similar electronic transmission, as described in paragraph (a) of this subsection. The court shall file the original signed warrant and a printed image of the application with the return.

      (B) The person making application shall deliver the original signed affidavit to the court with the return. If the affiant swore to the affidavit by telephone, the affiant must so note next to the affiant’s signature on the affidavit.

The judge shall make and keep a record of any testimony taken before the judge. The record shall be admissible as evidence on any motion to suppress.

      (2) If the judge finds that the application meets the requirements of ORS 133.545 and that, on the basis of the record made before the judge, there is probable cause to believe that the search will discover things specified in the application and subject to seizure under ORS 133.535, the judge shall issue a search warrant based on the finding of the judge and in accordance with the requirements of ORS 133.545 to 133.615. If the judge does not so find, the judge shall deny the application.

      (3) The judge may orally authorize a police officer, a district attorney or a special agent employed under ORS 131.805 to sign the judge’s name on a duplicate original warrant. A duplicate original warrant shall be a search warrant for the purposes of ORS 133.535 to 133.615, and it shall be returned to the judge as provided in ORS 133.615. In such cases a judge shall enter on the face of the original warrant the exact time of the issuance of the warrant and shall sign and file the original warrant in the manner provided by law.

      (4) Until the warrant is executed, the proceedings upon application for a search warrant shall be conducted with secrecy appropriate to the circumstances. [1973 c.836 §84; 2009 c.334 §2]

      (2) The use of deadly physical force in the execution of a search warrant is justifiable only:

      (a) If the officer reasonably believes that there is a substantial risk that things to be seized will be used to cause death or serious physical injury if their seizure is delayed and that the force used creates no substantial risk of injury to persons other than those obstructing the officer; or

(Disposition of Things Seized)

 

      133.623 Handling and disposition of things seized. (1) The provisions of subsections (2), (3) and (4) of this section apply to all cases of seizure, except for a seizure made under a search warrant.

      (2) If an officer makes an arrest in connection with the seizure, the officer shall, as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, make a written list of the things seized and furnish a copy of the list to the defendant.

      (3) If no claim to rightful possession has been established under ORS 133.633 to 133.663, the things seized may be disposed of in accordance with ORS 98.245 or the court may order that the things be delivered to the officials having responsibility under the applicable laws for selling, destroying or otherwise disposing of contraband, forfeited or unclaimed goods in official custody. If the responsible officials are state officials and the property is forfeited, the clear proceeds shall be deposited with the State Treasury in the Common School Fund.

      (4) If things seized in connection with an arrest are not needed for evidentiary purposes, and if a person having a rightful claim establishes identity and right to possession beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of the seizing officer, the officer may summarily return the things seized to their rightful possessor. If the things seized are perishable and it is not possible to return them to their rightful possessor, the seizing officer may dispose of the items as justice and the necessities of the case require.

      133.633 Motion for return or restoration of things seized. (1) Within 90 days after actual notice of any seizure, or at such later date as the court in its discretion may allow:

      (a) An individual from whose person, property or premises things have been seized may move the appropriate court to return things seized to the person or premises from which they were seized.

      (b) Any other person asserting a claim to rightful possession of the things seized may move the appropriate court to restore the things seized to the movant.

      (2) The appropriate court to consider such motion is:

      (a) The court having ultimate trial jurisdiction over any crime charged in connection with the seizure;

      (b) If no crime is charged in connection with the seizure, the court to which the warrant was returned; or

      (c) If the seizure was not made under a warrant and no crime is charged in connection with the seizure, any court having authority to issue search warrants in the county in which the seizure was made.

      (3) The movant shall serve a copy of the motion upon the district attorney or the city attorney, whichever is appropriate, of the jurisdiction in which the property is in custody.

      133.643 Ground for motion for return or restoration of things seized. A motion for the return or restoration of things seized shall be based on the ground that the movant has a valid claim to rightful possession thereof, because:

      (1) The things had been stolen or otherwise converted, and the movant is the owner or rightful possessor;

      (2) The things seized were not in fact subject to seizure under ORS 131.550 to 131.600 or 133.525 to 133.703;

      (3) The movant, by license or otherwise, is lawfully entitled to possess things otherwise subject to seizure under ORS 133.525 to 133.703;

      (4) Although the things seized were subject to seizure under ORS 133.525 to 133.703, the movant is or will be entitled to their return or restoration upon the court’s determination that they are no longer needed for evidentiary purposes; or

      (5) The parties in the case have stipulated that the things seized may be returned to the movant. [1973 c.836 §111; 2001 c.104 §44; 2001 c.666 §§22,23; 2005 c.830 §20]

(1) In granting a motion for return or restoration of things seized, the court shall postpone execution of the order until such time as the things in question need no longer remain available for evidentiary use.

      (2) An order granting a motion for return or restoration of things seized shall be reviewable on appeal in regular course. An order denying such a motion or entered under ORS 133.663 shall be reviewable on appeal upon certification by the court having custody of the things in question that they are no longer needed for evidentiary purposes.

      (3)(a) An order granting a motion for return of raw data obtained from the forensic imaging of a portable electronic device or of a computer shall include a provision that a law enforcement agency may not retain a copy of the raw data to be returned.

      (b) As used in this subsection, “forensic imaging,” “portable electronic device” and “raw data” have the meanings given those terms in ORS 133.539. [1973 c.836 §112; 2015 c.613 §3]

      133.663 Disputed possession rights. (1) If, upon consideration of a motion for return or restoration of things seized, it appears to the court that the things should be returned or restored, but there is a substantial question whether they should be returned to the person from whose possession they were seized or to some other person, or a substantial question among several claimants to rightful possession, the court may:

      (a) Return the things to the person from whose possession they were seized; or

      (b)(A) Impound the things seized and set a further hearing, ensuring that all persons with a possible possessory interest in the things in question receive due notice and an opportunity to be heard; and

      (B) Upon completion of the hearing provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, enter an order for the return or restoration of the things seized.

      (2) If there is no substantial question whether the things should be returned to the person from whose possession they were seized, they must be returned to the person upon the release of the defendant from custody.

      (3) Instead of conducting the hearing provided for in subsection (1)(b)(A) of this section and returning or restoring the property, the court, in its discretion, may leave the several claimants to appropriate civil process for the determination of the claims.

      (2) If the evidence sought to be suppressed was seized by authority of a search warrant, the moving party shall be allowed to contest the good faith, accuracy and truthfulness of the affiant as to the evidence presented before the issuing authority only upon supplementary motion, supported by affidavit, setting forth substantial basis for questioning such good faith, accuracy and truthfulness.

      (3) In any proceeding under subsection (2) of this section, the moving party shall have the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the evidence presented before the issuing authority was not offered in good faith, was not accurate and was not truthful.

      (4) Where the motion to suppress challenges evidence seized as the result of a warrantless search, the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence the validity of the search is on the prosecution.

      (5) The court shall determine whether, under applicable law, any inaccuracy, untruthfulness or lack of good faith requires suppression. [1973 c.836 §118]

 

      133.700 [Renumbered 135.105]

      133.707 Custodian’s obligation to preserve biological evidence; effect of inability to produce in judicial proceeding; rules. (1) A custodian shall preserve biological evidence in accordance with ORS 133.705 to 133.717 if the evidence:

      (a) Is collected as part of a criminal investigation into a covered offense; or

      (b) Is otherwise in the possession of the custodian and reasonably may be used to incriminate or exculpate any person for a covered offense.

      (2) When a custodian is required to preserve biological evidence under subsection (1) of this section, the custodian shall preserve the evidence in an amount and manner that is sufficient to develop a DNA profile. Except as otherwise provided in ORS 133.705 to 133.717, the biological evidence must be preserved:

      (a) If the covered offense is aggravated murder, murder, rape in the first degree, sodomy in the first degree or unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree, for 60 years from the date each person is convicted of the offense or until each person convicted of the offense has died, whichever is earlier.

      (b) If the covered offense is aggravated vehicular homicide, manslaughter in the first degree or manslaughter in the second degree, until each person convicted of the offense has served the person’s sentence.

      (c) If no person is convicted of the covered offense or the law enforcement agency investigating the covered offense closes the case for a reason other than the conviction of a person, until the expiration of the statute of limitations.

      (3) A custodian is not required to preserve physical evidence solely because the physical evidence contains biological evidence if the physical evidence is of such a size, bulk or physical character as to render retention impracticable. When the retention of physical evidence is impracticable, the custodian shall remove and preserve portions of the physical evidence likely to contain biological evidence in a quantity sufficient to permit future DNA testing before returning or disposing of the physical evidence.

      (4) Upon the conclusion of any trial or hearing involving a covered offense, the court shall return any biological evidence in the possession of the court to the custodian responsible for preserving the biological evidence under ORS 133.705 to 133.717, unless the evidence was collected by the defense. If the evidence was collected by the defense, the court shall return the evidence to the attorney for the defendant.

      (5) If a custodian is required to preserve biological evidence under ORS 133.705 to 133.717 and the custodian is unable to produce the evidence in a judicial proceeding, the individual to whom the custodian has delegated the duty to preserve the evidence shall prepare, sign and file with the court a sworn affidavit that indicates that the custodian is unable to produce the evidence and describes the efforts taken to locate the evidence.

      (6) If a court finds that biological evidence was destroyed in violation of ORS 133.705 to 133.717, the court, after determining whether the evidence was destroyed maliciously, may impose appropriate sanctions and order appropriate remedies. The court may not order the reversal of a conviction under this subsection on the sole grounds that the biological evidence is no longer available.

      (7)(a) The Attorney General shall adopt rules establishing:

      (A) Standards for the proper collection, retention, preservation and cataloging of biological evidence applicable to criminal investigations into, and criminal prosecutions for, covered offenses; and

      (B) A standard form for use by custodians in providing the written notice described in ORS 133.709 (1).

      (b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Department of State Police and custodians before adopting rules under this subsection. [2009 c.489 §1; 2011 c.275 §1]

      133.709 Notice of intent to dispose; motion to preserve. (1)(a) A custodian may seek to dispose of biological evidence before the period of time specified in ORS 133.707 (2), by providing written notice, in the form developed under ORS 133.707 (7), to the district attorney having jurisdiction over the prosecution of the covered offense. Upon receipt of the notice, the district attorney shall determine whether to object to the disposal of any of the biological evidence identified in the custodian’s notice.

      (b) If the district attorney objects to the disposal of any of the biological evidence identified in the custodian’s notice, the district attorney shall provide written notice of the objection to the custodian that identifies the biological evidence that the district attorney determines must be preserved. The custodian shall preserve any biological evidence identified by the district attorney in the notice until the period of time specified in ORS 133.707 (2) has elapsed.

      (c) If the district attorney does not object to the disposal of all or a portion of the biological evidence identified in the custodian’s notice, the district attorney shall provide written notice of the intent to dispose of biological evidence, identifying the biological evidence that the district attorney has determined may be disposed of, to:

      (A) The defendant;

      (B) The most recent attorney of record for the defendant; and

      (C) The Department of Justice.

      (2) If evidence that is subject to ORS 133.707 is the property of the victim, the victim may request that the district attorney determine whether the property may be returned to the victim. The request must be in writing and must identify the property that the victim seeks to have returned. If the district attorney:

      (a) Objects to the return of any of the property to the victim, the district attorney shall notify the victim of that determination.

      (b) Does not object to the return of all or a portion of the property, the district attorney shall provide written notice of the intent to dispose of biological evidence, identifying the property the district attorney has determined may be returned, to:

      (A) The victim;

      (B) The defendant;

      (C) The most recent attorney of record for the defendant; and

      (D) The Department of Justice.

      (3)(a) Not later than 120 days after the date the district attorney provides written notice to the defendant under subsection (1)(c) or (2)(b) of this section, the defendant may file a motion to preserve biological evidence in the convicting court. The defendant shall provide a copy of the motion to the district attorney and the custodian. If the motion is timely filed, the court shall enter an order as provided in ORS 133.715.

      (b) If the defendant fails to file a motion to preserve biological evidence before the expiration of the 120-day period specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection, the district attorney shall file with the court a copy of the notice of intent to dispose of biological evidence sent to the defendant under subsection (1)(c) or (2)(b) of this section. Following the filing of the notice, the court shall, without hearing, enter an order authorizing the disposal of the biological evidence described in the notice. The court shall provide a copy of the order to the custodian, the district attorney and each person or entity described in subsection (1)(c) or (2)(b) of this section, as applicable.

      (c) The 120-day period specified in this subsection begins on the date the notice is mailed. [2011 c.275 §3]

      133.710 [Renumbered 135.115]

 

      133.713 Inventory; right to review. (1) Upon written request by the defendant, the district attorney shall provide the defendant with an inventory of biological evidence that has been preserved under ORS 133.705 to 133.717 and is related to the covered offense for which the defendant was convicted.

      (2) A defendant or, if the defendant is represented by an attorney, the defendant’s attorney has the right to reasonably review biological evidence that is the subject of a written notice of intent to dispose of biological evidence under ORS 133.709 for the purpose of preparing a motion to preserve biological evidence. [2011 c.275 §5]

 

      Note: See note under 133.705.

 

      133.715 Order; appeal. (1) Upon receipt of a timely motion to preserve biological evidence under ORS 133.709 (3), the court shall:

      (a) Conduct a hearing to resolve the motion; or

      (b) Enter an order directing the custodian to preserve the biological evidence.

      (2)(a) In determining whether to order the preservation of biological evidence, the court shall consider, in addition to other factors the court considers appropriate, the following factors:

      (A) Whether the identification of the offender was a disputed issue;

      (B) Whether other biological evidence in the case contains DNA in an amount that is sufficient to develop a DNA profile and will not be disposed of;

      (C) If the biological evidence has not previously been tested, whether it is possible to perform testing on the biological evidence;

      (D) Whether the defendant has served all of the sentence imposed; and

      (E) Whether the defendant has exhausted the defendant’s appellate or post-conviction rights.

      (b) If the defendant has not exhausted the defendant’s appellate and post-conviction rights, there is a presumption that the biological evidence should be preserved.

      (c) In making the determination described in this subsection, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, the court may assign the weight the court deems appropriate to the factors described in paragraph (a) of this subsection and to any other factor the court determines is appropriate.

      (d) For purposes of subparagraph (2)(a)(A) of this section, the court need not presume that identification of the offender is not a disputed issue solely because the defendant has pleaded guilty or no contest to the crime, has confessed to the crime or has made an admission.

      (3) If the court enters an order authorizing the disposal of biological evidence, the order may not authorize disposal to occur sooner than 45 days after the date the order is entered. The court shall provide a copy of the order to the custodian, the district attorney and the defendant.

      (4) Either the state or the defendant may appeal from an order entered under this section in the manner provided in ORS chapter 19 for appeals from judgments. Notwithstanding ORS 19.330, the filing of a notice of appeal automatically stays an order entered under this section. [2011 c.275 §4]

 

      Note: See note under 133.705.

 

      133.717 Provision of notice or order to defendant. When a provision of ORS 133.705 to 133.717 requires a district attorney or the court to provide written notice or an order to the defendant and the defendant:

      (1) Is incarcerated for any offense in a Department of Corrections institution, the notice must be sent by regular United States mail in an envelope prominently displaying the words “Legal Mail.”

      (2) Is supervised by a supervisory authority for any offense, the notice must be sent by regular United States mail to the defendant’s last-known address on record with the supervisory authority.

      (j) A statement as to whether any prior application has been made to intercept wire, electronic or oral communications from the same person and, if such prior application exists, a statement of the current status of that application; and

      (3) Upon examination of such application and evidence the judge may enter an ex parte order, as requested or as modified, authorizing or approving interception of wire, electronic or oral communications within the state if the judge determines on the basis of the facts submitted by the applicant that:

      (a) There is probable cause for belief that an individual is committing, has committed or is about to commit a particular crime described in subsection (1)(c) of this section;

      (b) There is probable cause for belief that particular communications concerning that crime will be obtained through such interception;

Extensions of any order may be granted, but only when application for an extension is made in accordance with subsection (1)(k) of this section and the court makes the findings required by subsection (3) of this section. The period of extension shall be no longer than the authorizing judge deems necessary to achieve the purpose for which it is granted and in no event for longer than 30 days. Every order and extension of that order shall contain a provision that the authorization to intercept must be executed as soon as practicable, must be conducted in such a way as to minimize the interception of communications not otherwise subject to interception, and must terminate upon attainment of the authorized objective, or in any event in 30 days.

      (6) Whenever an order authorizing interception is entered pursuant to this section, the order may require reports to be made to the judge who issued the order showing what progress has been made toward achievement of the authorized objective and the need for continued interception. Such reports shall be made at such intervals as the judge may require. [1979 c.716 §4 (enacted in lieu of 133.725); 1989 c.639 §1; 1989 c.983 §7a; 1995 c.224 §1; 2001 c.385 §6; 2005 c.708 §45; 2007 c.442 §1; 2011 c.151 §8; 2013 c.720 §6]

(1) Notwithstanding ORS 133.724, under the circumstances described in this section, a law enforcement officer is authorized to intercept an oral communication to which the officer or a person under the direct supervision of the officer is a party, without obtaining an order for the interception of a wire, electronic or oral communication under ORS 133.724.

      (2) For purposes of this section and ORS 133.736, a person is a party to an oral communication if the oral communication is made in the person’s immediate presence and is audible to the person regardless of whether the communication is specifically directed to the person.

      (3) An ex parte order for intercepting an oral communication in any county of this state under this section may be issued by any judge as defined in ORS 133.525 upon written application made upon oath or affirmation of the district attorney or a deputy district attorney authorized by the district attorney for the county in which the order is sought or upon the oath or affirmation of any peace officer as defined in ORS 133.005. The application shall include:

      (a) The name of the applicant and the applicant’s authority to make the application;

      (b) A statement demonstrating that there is probable cause to believe that a person whose oral communication is to be intercepted is engaged in committing, has committed or is about to commit a particular felony, or a misdemeanor under ORS 167.007 or 167.008, and that intercepting the oral communication will yield evidence thereof; and

      (c) The identity of the person, if known, suspected of committing the crime and whose oral communication is to be intercepted.

      (4) The judge may require the applicant to furnish further testimony or documentary evidence in support of the application.

      (5) Upon examination of the application and evidence, the judge may enter an ex parte order, as requested or as modified, authorizing or approving the interception of an oral communication within the state if the judge determines on the basis of the facts submitted by the applicant that:

      (a) There is probable cause to believe that a person is engaged in committing, has committed or is about to commit a particular felony, or a misdemeanor under ORS 167.007 or 167.008; and

      (b) There is probable cause to believe that the oral communication to be obtained will contain evidence concerning that crime.

      (6) An order authorizing or approving the interception of an oral communication under this section must specify:

      (a) The identity of the person, if known, whose oral communication is to be intercepted;

      (b) A statement identifying the particular crime to which the oral communication is expected to relate;

      (c) The agency authorized under the order to intercept the oral communication;

      (d) The name and office of the applicant and the signature and title of the issuing judge;

      (e) A period of time after which the order shall expire; and

      (f) A statement that the order authorizes only the interception of an oral communication to which a law enforcement officer or a person under the direct supervision of a law enforcement officer is a party.

      (7) An order under ORS 133.724 or this section is not required when a law enforcement officer intercepts an oral communication to which the officer or a person under the direct supervision of the officer is a party if the oral communication is made by a person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has committed, is engaged in committing or is about to commit:

      (a) A crime punishable as a felony under ORS 475.752, 475.806 to 475.894, 475.906, 475C.005 to 475C.525 or 475C.770 to 475C.919 or as a misdemeanor under ORS 167.007 or 167.008; or

      (b) Any other crime punishable as a felony if the circumstances at the time the oral communication is intercepted are of such exigency that it would be unreasonable to obtain a court order under ORS 133.724 or this section.

      (8) A law enforcement officer who intercepts an oral communication pursuant to this section may not intentionally fail to record and preserve the oral communication in its entirety. A law enforcement officer, or a person under the direct supervision of the officer, who is authorized under this section to intercept an oral communication is not required to exclude from the interception an oral communication made by a person for whom probable cause does not exist if the officer or the person under the officer’s direct supervision is a party to the oral communication.

      (9) A law enforcement officer may not divulge the contents of an oral communication intercepted under this section before a preliminary hearing or trial in which an oral communication is going to be introduced as evidence against a person except:

      (a) To a superior officer or other official with whom the law enforcement officer is cooperating in the enforcement of the criminal laws of this state or the United States;

      (b) To a magistrate;

      (c) In a presentation to a federal or state grand jury; or

      (d) In compliance with a court order.

      (10) A law enforcement officer may intercept an oral communication under this section only when acting within the scope of the officer’s employment and as a part of assigned duties.

      (11) As used in this section, “law enforcement officer” means:

      (a) An officer employed to enforce criminal laws by:

      (A) The United States, this state or a municipal government within this state;

      (B) A political subdivision, agency, department or bureau of the governments described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or

      (C) A police department established by a university under ORS 352.121 or 353.125;

      (b) An authorized tribal police officer as defined in ORS 181A.940; or

      (c) A regulatory specialist as defined in ORS 471.001.

      (12) Violation of subsection (9) of this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

      133.727 Proceeding under expired order prohibited. Any officer who knowingly proceeds under an order which has expired and has not been renewed as provided in ORS 133.724 is deemed to act without authority under ORS 133.724 and shall be subject to the penalties provided in ORS 165.543, as though the officer had never obtained any such order or warrant. [Formerly 141.730; 1979 c.716 §14; 1983 c.824 §7]

 

      133.729 Recording intercepted communications; method; delivery to court; custody. The contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication intercepted in accordance with the provisions of ORS 133.724 shall, if possible, be recorded on tape or wire or other comparable device. The recording of the contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication under this section shall be done in such way as will protect the recording from editing or other alterations. Immediately upon the expiration of the period of the order issued under ORS 133.724, or extensions thereof, such recordings shall be made available to the judge issuing such order and sealed under the direction of the judge. Custody of the recordings shall be wherever the judge orders. They shall not be destroyed before the expiration of the minimum retention period established by the State Court Administrator under ORS 8.125. Duplicate recordings may be made for use or disclosure pursuant to the provisions of ORS 133.737 (1) and (2) for investigations. The presence of the seal provided for by this section, or a satisfactory explanation for the absence thereof, shall be a prerequisite for the use or disclosure of the contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication or evidence derived therefrom under ORS 133.737 (3).

On an ex parte showing of good cause to a judge of the circuit court, the serving of the inventory required by this section may be postponed. [1979 c.716 §8; 1989 c.983 §9]

 

      133.733 Procedure for introduction as evidence. The contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication intercepted under ORS 133.724, or evidence derived therefrom, shall not be received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any trial, hearing or other proceeding in any court of this state unless each party, not less than 10 days before the trial, hearing or proceeding, has been furnished with a copy of the court order, and accompanying application, under which the interception was authorized or approved. This 10-day period may be waived by the judge if the judge finds that it was not possible to furnish the party with the above information 10 days before the trial, hearing or proceeding and that the party will not be prejudiced by the delay in receiving such information. [1979 c.716 §9; 1989 c.983 §10]

      (c) The interception was not made in conformity with the order of authorization or approval.

      (2) Such motion shall be made before the trial, hearing or proceeding unless there was no opportunity to make such motion or the person was not aware of the grounds of the motion.

The judge, upon the filing of such motion by the aggrieved person, may in the judge’s discretion make available to the aggrieved person or the person’s counsel for inspection such portions of the intercepted communications or evidence derived therefrom as the judge determines to be in the interests of justice.

      (3) In addition to any other right to appeal, the state shall have the right to appeal from an order granting a motion to suppress under subsection (1) of this section. [1979 c.716 §10; 1989 c.983 §11]

      (2) Any investigative or law enforcement officer who, by any means authorized by ORS 133.721 to 133.739, has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication under ORS 133.724, or evidence derived therefrom, may use such contents to the extent such use is appropriate to the proper performance of official duties.

Such contents and any evidence derived therefrom may be used under subsection (3) of this section when authorized or approved by a judge of the circuit court if the judge finds on subsequent application that the contents were otherwise intercepted in accordance with the provisions of ORS 133.724. Such application shall be made as soon as practicable. [1979 c.716 §6; 1989 c.983 §12; 2003 c.14 §56]

The warrant must substantially recite the facts necessary to the validity of its issue. [Formerly 147.070]

 

      133.777 Execution of the warrant. Such warrant shall authorize the officer or other person to whom directed to arrest the accused at any place where the accused may be found within the state and to command the aid of all sheriffs and other peace officers in the execution of the warrant, and to deliver the accused, subject to the provisions of ORS 133.743 to 133.833 and 133.839 to 133.855, to the duly authorized agent of the demanding state. [Formerly 147.080]

[Formerly 147.090]

 

      133.787 Rights of arrested person. No person arrested upon such warrant shall be delivered over to the agent whom the executive authority demanding the person shall have appointed to receive the person unless the person has been informed of the demand made for surrender and of the crime with which the person is charged, and that the person has the right to demand legal counsel; and if the prisoner, the friends, or counsel of the prisoner shall state the desire to test the legality of the arrest, the prisoner shall be taken forthwith before a judge of a court of record in this state, who shall fix a reasonable time to be allowed the prisoner within which to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. And when such writ is applied for, notice thereof, and of the time and place of hearing thereon, shall be given to the public prosecuting officer of the county in which the arrest is made and in which the accused is in custody, and to the said agent of the demanding state.

(1) The officer or person executing the Governor’s warrant of arrest, or the agent of the demanding state to whom the prisoner may have been delivered, may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which the officer, person or agent may pass; and the keeper of such jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the person having charge of the prisoner is ready to proceed on the route, such person being chargeable with the expense of keeping.

      (2) The officer or agent of a demanding state to whom a prisoner may have been delivered following extradition proceedings in another state, or to whom a prisoner may have been delivered after waiving extradition in such other state, and who is passing through this state with such a prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning such prisoner to the demanding state may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in the jail of any county or city through which the officer or agent may pass; and the keeper of such jail must receive and safely keep the prisoner until the officer or agent having charge of the prisoner is ready to proceed on the route, such officer or agent, however, being chargeable with the expense of keeping; provided, however, that such officer or agent shall produce and show to the keeper of such jail satisfactory written evidence of the fact that the officer or agent is actually transporting such prisoner to the demanding state after a requisition by the executive authority of such demanding state. Such prisoner shall not be entitled to demand a new requisition while in this state. [Formerly 147.120]

 

      133.803 Arrest prior to requisition. Whenever any person within this state shall be charged on the oath of any credible person before any judge or other magistrate of this state with the commission of a crime in any other state and, except in cases arising under ORS 133.767, with having fled from justice, or with having been convicted of a crime in that state and having escaped from confinement, or having broken the terms of security release, probation or parole, or whenever complaint shall have been made before any judge or other magistrate in this state setting forth on the affidavit of any creditable person in another state that a crime has been committed in such other state and that the accused has been charged in such state with the commission of the crime, and, except in cases arising under ORS 133.767, has fled therefrom or has been convicted of a crime in that state and escaped from confinement, or has broken the terms of security release, probation or parole, and is believed to be in this state, the judge or magistrate shall issue a warrant directed to any peace officer commanding the peace officer to apprehend the person named therein, wherever the person may be found in this state, and bring the person before the same or any other judge, court or magistrate who may be convenient of access to the place where the arrest may be made, to answer the charge or complaint and affidavit, and a certified copy of the sworn charge or complaint and affidavit upon which the warrant is issued shall be attached to the warrant. [Formerly 147.130; 1999 c.1051 §247]

 

      133.805 Arrest without warrant. The arrest of a person may be lawfully made also by an officer or a private citizen without a warrant, upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged in the courts of another state with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, but when so arrested the accused must be taken before a judge or magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint must be made against the accused under oath setting forth the ground for the arrest as in ORS 133.803; and thereafter the answer of the accused shall be heard as if the accused had been arrested on a warrant. [Formerly 147.140]

 

      133.807 Commitment to await arrest on requisition. If from the initial examination before the judge or magistrate it appears that the person held is the person charged with having committed the crime alleged, the judge or magistrate must commit the person to jail by a warrant reciting the accusation for a period of at least 45 days to enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of the Governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense, unless the accused is released as provided in ORS 133.809, or until the accused shall be legally discharged. The period of time may be extended upon good cause shown demonstrating the need for additional time to allow the executive authority of the state having jurisdiction of the offense to comply with procedural requirements of the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, 18 U.S.C. 3182, or Article IV, section 2, of the United States Constitution. [Formerly 147.150; 1999 c.553 §1; 2019 c.13 §29]

 

      133.809 Release. Unless the offense with which the prisoner is charged is shown to be an offense punishable by death or life imprisonment under the laws of the state in which it was committed, the judge or magistrate must make a release decision concerning the person arrested under ORS 135.230 to 135.290, for the appearance of the person at a time specified in the security release or in the release agreement.

      133.813 Proceedings in absence of arrest under executive warrant within specified time. If the accused is not arrested under warrant of the Governor by the expiration of the time specified in the warrant, security release or release agreement, the judge or magistrate may discharge the accused or may recommit the accused to a further day, or may again set a security release or a release agreement for the appearance and surrender of the accused, as provided in ORS 133.809; and at the expiration of the second period of commitment, or if the accused has been released and appeared according to the terms of the security release or release agreement of the accused, the judge or magistrate either may discharge the accused or may require the accused to enter into a new security release or release agreement to appear and surrender at another day. [Formerly 147.170]

 

      133.815 Forfeiture; recovery thereon. If the prisoner is released and fails to appear according to the condition of the security release or release agreement of the prisoner, the court, by proper order, shall declare the security release or release agreement forfeited, and recovery may be had thereon in the name of the state as in the case of other security releases and release agreements given by the accused in criminal proceedings within this state. [Formerly 147.180]
