- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> What makes Oregon think it can enforce its law across state lines ? It’s absolutely possible to be a fugitive in one state from another. It’s also typically quite expensive and stressful. If I were on the other side of this fight, I’d use the opponent’s absence from Oregon courts to get civil judgements in my favour and then use the federal credit system to collect.
