I posted this in the main thread, but for those who do not want to tread through the bullshite in that thread, I will post it here as well-

Obviously we will not know more about the NCAA/Oregon course of action until a later date, but for the moment, I have compiled the Oregon Traffic laws that were violated and the consequences:

Speeding:

quote:
811.109 Penalties for speed violations. (1) Violation of a specific speed limit imposed under law or of a posted speed limit is punishable as follows: (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, if the speed limit is 65 miles per hour or greater and: (c) The person is exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 miles per hour, the offense is a Class A traffic violation. (5) If a person drives 100 miles per hour or greater when the person commits a violation described in this section, a court shall impose the following in lieu of a punishment otherwise imposed under this section: (a) A fine of $1,000; and (b) A suspension of driving privileges for not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days. (6) When a court imposes a suspension under subsection (4) or (5) of this section, the court shall prepare and send to the Department of Transportation an order of suspension of driving privileges of the person. Upon receipt of an order under this subsection, the department shall take action as directed under ORS 809.280. [1995 c.383 §14; 2003 c.819 §17; 2005 c.491 §1]

Driving with a suspended license:

quote:
811.175 Violation driving while suspended or revoked; penalties. (1) A person commits the offense of violation driving while suspended or revoked if the person does any of the following: (a) Drives a motor vehicle upon a highway during a period when the person’s driving privileges or right to apply for driving privileges have been suspended or revoked in this state by a court or by the Department of Transportation. (4) The offense described in this section, violation driving while suspended or revoked, is a Class A traffic violation except as otherwise provided in ORS 811.182. [1983 c.338 §598; 1985 c.16 §304; 1987 c.730 §1; 1987 c.801 §9; 1989 c.171 §91; 1989 c.636 §45; 1997 c.249 §228; 1999 c.1051 §90; 2009 c.395 §10]

Although he was not cited for it, here is the law on "Reckless Driving" which it certainly appears he broke:

quote:
811.140 Reckless driving; penalty. (1) A person commits the offense of reckless driving if the person recklessly drives a vehicle upon a highway or other premises described in this section in a manner that endangers the safety of persons or property. (2) The use of the term “recklessly” in this section is as defined in ORS 161.085.***** (3) The offense described in this section, reckless driving, is a Class A misdemeanor and is applicable upon any premises open to the public. [1983 c.338 §571] SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES *****161.085 Definitions with respect to culpability. As used in chapter 743, Oregon Laws 1971, and ORS 166.635, unless the context requires otherwise: (9) “Recklessly,” when used with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense, means that a person is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that disregard thereof constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.

As for those who were wondering why he was not arrested:

quote:
810.410 Arrest and citation. (1) A police officer may arrest or issue a citation to a person for a traffic crime at any place within or outside the jurisdictional authority of the governmental unit by which the police officer is authorized to act as provided by ORS 133.235 and 133.310. (3) A police officer: (a) Shall not arrest a person for a traffic violation.

The way I read it, he is guilty of two (2) Class A violations - Speeding in excess of 100 mph and driving with a suspended license.

According to this link - LINK that is a minimum of $1148 fine for the speeding and a minimum of $472 fine for the suspended license violation. I think the NCAA should lay low on the investigation of the rental car and just watch the cash flow into and out of Harris' bank account as he pays the minimum $1620 in fines and his license is suspended another 30-90 days on top of its current suspension.
