    This is a complaint filed with the Baker City Police Department concerning an incident where Councilor Pope urinated outside his law office after having pizza and beer with his friends, He was missing an important Council meeting at the time. The complaint was forwarded to the DA's office because the police department said State law ORS 153.058 (8) would not allow them to proceed with it. Our DA sent it to the Harney County Oregon DA, who also refused to pursue it, even with the photo.

    DearChiefLohner:

    Statement Milo Popeurinatingin publicon the


    andcomplaintofCbristopherChdstieconcerning
    eveningofAugust24, 2010.

    Onthe eveningof August24, 2010,I wasinfomedthatMilo Popewasholdingmeeting,or "get


    together"with ex-CityManagerSteveBrocatoandhis friendsat the law ofticesofYervas;and
    PoDeat 1990Third Stfeetin BakerCity. Because them€etingwasoccurringwhenMilo Popewas
    supposed to beattendinga City Councilmeeting,andbecause ofthe recentcity historyinvolving
    thosehewasmeetingwith, includingSteveBrocato,who is suingthe city, four Councilors, anda
    privatecitizen,I decidedto respondto the call by goingdownto meetJasonBlandso asto
    document the event,

    A little after7 PM, aswe satin a vehicleon the southsideofAce Hardware,we viewedMilo
    Popeemergeftom thebackdoorofhis law officesandwalk overthe largetreeby the parkinglot
    jLrstSEofthe building.I wastakinghisphotoat thetimeto docLrment his whereaboutsduring
    themeeting.To my surprise,Mr. Popereached downaroundthecrotchofhis pantsandassumed
    thepositionofa maleurinating.He heldthispositionfor p€rhaps a oinute, duringwhichtime I
    tooka photograph. It badbecomedarkrather mpidly in thatshadedarea,andnot beingusedto
    takingphotoswith a longlensat nightwithouta flash,I didn'thavethe shutterspeedset
    appropriately, thusresultingin a poorgrainypholo.I haveattached a glossypapercopyoflhe
    phototo this document.

    Havinglookedat thousands ofmy own photosoverthelastl5 yea$ or so,afterdownloading the


    photoon my computerthenextday,I wasableto detect a stream ofliquid on a traj€ctory
    betweenthe dotch areaofhis pantsto the groundin front of him. I circledthe areaofthe
    trajectoryon the photo. Whilecertainlynot crystalclear,the streamis visibleasa narrowblurred
    line (shutterspeed,1 second)thatis lighterthanthesurrounding pixels. It is especiallyevidentas
    it passesin front ofthe darkareaat the bottomof thebuiidingin the background.

    My understanding to urinatein publicin the City of


    is thatit is a violationof a city Ordinance
    BakerCity, if, amongotherthingsit occursin a placethatis opento publicview. LE.,

    Chapterl30. GeneralWenses

    I30.045P blic Urination

    It shall be unlawfulfot anypenon ta urinate ar defecatein ar uponan, street,alley,public


    place, ot in anyplace opento public view.
    Therefore,given what I saw, asattestedto by the attachedphoto,I formally file a complaint
    againstMilo Popefor urinatingin publicandviolatingcity Ordinance130.045

    I askthat the appropriateautho ties evaluatemy statementandthe photogaph to determiningif


    they agee a violation hastakenplace,and if so,that appropriateaction betaken.

    JasonBlandwasa witnessto the event.

    Thankyou for yourconsideration


    ofthis complaint.
