So I guess I'm not the only one the police let this happen to. Welcome to Oregon. The land where landlords are your masters and can detain you against your will and not only will the police not help you, they help your landlord in doing so. This idiot just admitted to falsely imprisoning her tenants as well. This may be one of the most stupid things I've ever seen posted. Off to jail she goes as well. WOW !

8 HOURS HELD PRISONER WHILE THE POLICE WATCHED: A WARNING TO PORTLAND
After 20 years of dedicated service, Hookset Automotive is permanently closing its doors. We are joining a mass exodus of small businesses fleeing this city—a movement the local news continues to ignore.
We are leaving because of the crushing weight of taxes, unsustainable prices, and rampant crime. However, the final deciding factor was the realization that there is absolutely zero protection from the authorities. In fact, our experience proved that the police will actively work against you.
The breaking point for us was a harrowing eight-hour ordeal where we were held prisoner on our own property from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We were locked in like animals in a kennel, and when we reached out for the protection we are supposed to be guaranteed as citizens:
The Portland Police arrived, saw we were being detained, and then deliberately left us locked in.
The Police Sergeant blocked our rescue by labeling our captivity a "civil matter."
The Fire Department was ready to intervene until the Police Sergeant explicitly ordered them to stand down and abandon us.
I have released a full video detailing exactly what happened during those eight hours. You can find the video on YouTube, Spotify, or my public page under our podcast: Joints and Friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UbMY1ZNF38&t=131s
If the "idiots running this city" and the police themselves will watch business owners be held captive and do nothing, then you are no longer safe in Portland. We can no longer operate in a place where the rule of law has been replaced by state-sanctioned abandonment.
To our loyal customers: thank you for 20 years. We are leaving for our own safety and to find a community where businesses are actually protected.
Hookset Automotive is CLOSED. Portland is no longer a safe place to be.
PLEASE SHARE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I have now included the Video of Steve and The Portland Police Association here for all to see.
