Measure 7 deals with


On November 7, 2000, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 7, which

requires state and local governments to compensate a property owner if a
government passes or enforces a regulation that restricts the use of property
and thereby reduces its value. Businesses in Oregon will be affected by
Measure 7 in two main ways: (a) directly, through compensation or reductions


I can not see any connection between this and ID theft
in regulatory requirements, and (b) indirectly, through changes that may occur
in the services and costs of government if government must finance the costs of
compensation

What would you consider it if some one steals a credit card and uses it?

Stealing the credit card - theft ( depends on how they stole it)

Using it, each time it is used is an additoinal theft

** crimes go by various names, in GA it may be called a criminal tresspass depending on how much was stolen.

Again how the card was stolen, 1.break into house 2. break into car
3.picked their pocket 4. stole it from locker at gym
The how did they get the card is one issue.

Then how much and how many times did they use the card, and how many cards did they steal.

If they used someone's ID, to order a new card, yes that is ID theft and fraud, and also theft for each use of card. Also there is some chance of a Federal postal charge

These crimes do not fall under measure 11 sentencing guidelines,

Each count is a class C felony in Oregan

Get him an attorney and ask them. Until you know what he will be charged with all you can so is speculate.

Her son stole two credit cards from her pocket he is chared with five counts of felony c three for receiving stolen property one which was a gun he is in jail and has court on the eleventh but his mother is just wanting to know what he might be facing. They told her that if she dropped the charges of the cards being stolen it would make it easier on him but she is not sure what she wants to do because she does not want to send her son to prison for five years or more but yet she does want to see him get some help so she is going to try to see if she can get him some jail time and rehab but it is hard for her since he is over 18 also.

Well that is what they are trying to do but she would have to drop her charges and she is not sure she wants to do this. He has an attorney and she wants to see him get help not just go to prison.The attorny is the one suggesting her droping the charges>

No, she does not have to drop the charges for him to have an attorney and work out a plea agreement, But no the court is not going to get him help, it will either send him to jail and then probation, to prison and then parole The only thing will be for how long will he go, that is what the plea agreement decides.
