So Oregon is essentially making it impossible to catch a murderer in the state.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office says it no longer has the capacity or staffing to keep up with record numbers of mysterious deaths, murders and autopsy requests. So this summer, much of the often painstaking and taxing work will be shifted down to local counties - some haven’t staffed a medical examiner for years.
Everson says the county received word of the changes this past February, spurring a whirlwind of planning to soon take on the work of determining causes of deaths, signing death certificates, and performing physical examinations of hundreds of bodies each year.
It comes as the county, in recent years, has dealt with a spike in deaths requiring more thorough investigations.
According to county data, since 2019, there’s been a nearly 40% increase in the number of deaths assigned to death investigators, and a 75% increase in cases requiring investigators to respond to death scenes.
According to Everson, some of the increase is tied to COVID-19.
COVID? Holy shit, they will blame COVID for everything aren't they?
Another big factor - drug addiction.
There you go dumbasses. mRNA shots + legalizing drugs + removing all punishment for open air drug use = this.
“We’re seeing a year-over-year increase in overdose deaths, typically tied to fentanyl, many of them are polysubstance,” Everson said.
The state medical examiner’s office says the changes will allow its forensic pathologists to focus in on the most important deaths, often tied to crimes.
Welcome to a new era: The police only are going to investigate "most important deaths" now.
There has never been a better time to get away with murder in the PNW.
There's probably a few active serial killers operating up here, literally every overdose death isn't being investigated as suspicious. They just chuck them in the morgue and move on. If you kill someone just shoot them up afterwards, congratulations no police investigation.
It is actually insane how unsafe the citizens of this area currently are. Can't even defend ourselves, any legal gun owners in the PNW are being hounded by the feds since technically you can't own a gun and smoke weed.
So the state allows murders to increase and the feds take away the only way to defend ourselves due to a technicality between state and federal marijuana laws.

Really pairs well with your other post about the mysterious string of deaths in Oregon not being called a potential serial killer.

Do you have an escape plan? I hear Idaho is pretty nice as well as close. Florida and Texas as also viable options.
Idaho / Montana. Or if there is a God he'll release East Oregon from the clutches of Portland and that would be a paradise.
If OR and CA got split up the country would be much, much better for it.
Just secede from the Portlandian empire then petition Idaho and Nevada to claim the territory.
You have to inject the drug before the heart stops
"Oh no! If I use illegal, mind-altering substances the feds will use that as an excuse to disarm me!" Then don't smoke weed.
It isn't illegal here. That's the point.
If you allow this to be normalized it sets a dangerous precedent for every state.
Sue them for what?
