The Oregon Constitution vests the Legislative Assembly with plenary power to enact general laws that apply throughout the state. Article XI, section 2, preempts a city’s authority to enact a local ordinance that conflicts with state law. ...................................................... 8 A. The state is sovereign; a city is merely its agent and not a competing or coequal sovereign. ............................................................ 8 B. Article XI, section 2, preserves the state’s plenary authority to enact general laws that apply throughout the state. .............................. 10 C. Article XI, section 2, preempts a city’s authority to enact or enforce a local ordinance that conflicts with state law. ........................ 13 D. A local criminal ordinance conflicts with state law if it is incompatible with legislative policy, either because both cannot operate concurrently or because the legislature meant its law to be exclusive. ............................................................................................... 16 II. BCC 5.02.083 conflicts with ORS 430.402 and is therefore preempted under Article XI, section 2. .................................................... 20 A. ORS 430.402 precludes local legislation penalizing public drinking in all public places. ................................................................. 21 B. Construing ORS 430.402 to allow a local government to regulate public drinking conduct in all public places within its jurisdiction would frustrate state policy. .................................................................. 35 ii C. BCC 5.02.083 is preempted by state law. ...................................... 36 III. An arrest for violating an unconstitutionally preempted local ordinance violates Article I, section 9. ..................................................... 38 A. Probable cause is an objective legal determination made by the court after considering all relevant circumstances. ............................... 38 B. Defendant’s arrest was not justified by probable cause because the objective facts did not actually violate the law. .............................. 44 CONCLUSION ................................................................................................... 47 TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Cases 1000 Friends of Oregon v.
