Statute Text
(2) or (3) or 164.825, the peace officer may, at the time of making the
arrest or issuing the summons, under ORS 164.845, seize and take possession of
the trees or special forest products. The peace officer shall hold the trees or
special forest products subject to the order of the court before which the
arrested person is ordered to appear. If the owner of the trees or special
forest products appears before the court within 48 hours after the seizure
thereof and presents satisfactory evidence of ownership, the court shall order
the peace officer to deliver the trees or special forest products to the owner.
If the owner does not appear within the 48-hour period and prove ownership of
the trees or special forest products, the court may direct the peace officer to
sell the trees or special forest products in any manner and for any price that
appears to the court to be warranted. If the trees or special forest products
have no value, the court may direct the officer to destroy them in any manner
practicable. The proceeds of the sale, less the reasonable expenses thereof,
shall be paid to the treasurer of the county in which the trees or special
forest products are sold. At any time within one year after the seizure of the
trees or special forest products the owner thereof may appear before the court,
and, upon presentation of satisfactory evidence of ownership, the court shall
direct the treasurer of the county to pay the proceeds to the owner. If the
owner does not appear within one year from the seizure of the trees or special
forest products and prove a right to the proceeds, the proceeds shall
thereafter belong to the county, and may be disposed of as the county court may
direct.
(2) The return of
the trees or special forest products or the payment of the proceeds shall not
preclude the court from imposing any fine or penalty for any violation of ORS
