The Oregon DB was caught over the weekend driving 118 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, driving on a suspended license, with 2 other Oregon Football players in a 2011 Nissan Altima rented from Hertz rent a car by a University of Oregon employee who was not in the car with them.

This is Harris 4th brush with the law since committing to Oregon 3 years ago

Hertz has a policy of not renting cars to drivers under the age of 25, neither Harris nor any of the 3 passengers in the car, 2 Oregon football players and a 3rd male, are 25 years old

The University of Oregon employee who rented the car for the under-aged, suspended licensed player says that she did nothing against the rules, that Harris gave her 300 dollars to rent a car for him for the weekend saying he could not get one because his license was suspended, according to Hertz, that car rents for 100 for a weekend

NCAA rule 16.12.2.3c states: An institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to: The use of an automobile.

According to a Hertz employee working at the office on W7th, if a driver is pulled over in a rental car and is not on the rental car agreement, the police are supposed to impound the car.
Looks like the cop, who already let a driver with a suspended license and going 118 MPH in a 55 MPH zone in a rental car that was rented to a woman who wasn't even in the car go with just a ticket is also a duck fan.

maybe he should have rented a 10-year-old corolla and tricked it out.

Woman I work with got 24 hours in the Prince William County (VA) Jail (Sup Tom?) and $600 in fines for going 30 over on 95.

You can't teach speed.

Very nice. But I thought UVA grads all claimed that their football teams stunk because they wouldn't admit the thugs? Whateavah.

I have had that printed off and taped to the inside of my planner for years for those "whenever I am having a rough day, look at this and know there are some weapons grade idiots out there" pick-me-ups.

let's see...

3 people in the car x amuont over speed limit = 3x63 = 189 yep Oregon should lose 189 scholarships and have at least a 63 year bowl ban...

In California, anything over 100 M.P.H. will get you slapped in bracelets and kept in jail until the next court day so if you're caught on Friday night you sit in jail til Monday morning.
Also here driving on a suspended license gets your car impounded for a month and you in jail for a week, this is Harris' 3rd time being pulled over for speeding and driving without a license. He was also in a different car each time he was pulled over. He doesn't have a valid license in California (where he is from) or in Oregon where he now lives.

Here I am thinking the guy with the skullet was the one showing his age.

If you're caught driving without a license or insurance in Mexifornia and you are here illegally, you qualify for in-state tuition.

118MPH doesn't even crack the 2-deep at LSU, I hear.

And seriously? California doen't have magistrates on duty on the weekends? Either A) un fucking true or B) fucking stupid.

weekends and holidays off, otherwise you have to be arraigned within 48 hours of the arrest.

BtH -- Not sure about the state system (probably the same), but where I live, if you get taken in for something Friday afternoon or later, if you're not RoR, your next chance for arraignment (and subsequent release) is Monday morning.

If the jails are too crowded, the cops will occasionally look the otherway on little minor stuff Friday through Sunday, to save room for the serious fuckups.


Would have been nice to have Cliffy against LSU, but that's out -- he's probably going to be missing more than just the first game, too.

I wonder if Oregon gets a rebate on the money they paid him to go there?

Whether their was a magistrate on duty over the weekend or not, the guy has to have bench warrants for the failure to appear on the last two times he was stopped and cited for driving on a suspended license. What sort of special benefits were awarded to a player with what has to be close to 10,000 dollars in fines and warrants at the time he was pulled over to be let go with just another ticket? Are the swooshes on the cop cars in oregon too?

correction, his fines are at $8,527.50 not including interest, late charges or collection fees. Probably closer to 12 grand with those additionals

I'll let you in on a secret -- Oregon doesn't give a fuck how much you owe in california (where most of those outstanding fines are).

The two least-reciprocal states in the country, as far as motor vehicle departments go.

Hell, it's only been the last few years that the two neighboring states connected databases... which was a great scam if you got suspended in Oregon -- in the other 48 states, if Oregon suspended you, you couldn't get a license. But with california, you sent yourself some mail at your friend's house in california to establish residency, and drove to the california DMV and got a license issued. And if you're licensed in any of the other 49 states, you used to be able to legally drive in Oregon. I never did it, but knew more than one person who exploited that loophole.

I don't think that deal works anymore.

You're right, 4400 dollars in fines are in California, 4100 are in Oregon including stuff that had been in collections for 18 months for things like possession of alcohol, speeding, driving uninsured and driving without a license. So is it common that Oregon citizens with bench warrants and outstanding fines in collections can be pulled over by oregon police and then simply let go with another ticket?
What are they trying to cover up, who were the other 2 players in the car with Cliff and what were they up to that early in the morning driving that fast in a car they were not supposed to be in?

Actually, funny thing, that...

Since they started the sending-to-collections thing (which hasn't been going on long), it means a collection agency paid the ticket and bought the debt.

While I don't know every detail, I've had an outstanding ticket (complete bullshit, I negotiated volunteer work for the few bucks, since it almost sounded kinda fun, but then they din't let me go do it, for some very weird reason, and next thing I knew, I was getting collection notices). I've been pulled over since then, and the cops/DMV don't seem too worried about it.

So there has been some strange change in the way they deal with that. But used to be, if you had an outstanding driving-while-suspended, and go pulled over suspended, you were taking a trip the the Graybar Inn. But they seem to haul people off for driving stuff a lot less these days (maybe because the illegals in this sanctuary stae have crippled the corrections budget).
