Hannah Ahern's lawsuit
Attorney Juan Chavez included this photo in his lawsuit against police, alleging Det. Erik Kammerer, circled in red, urged bicycle offiers to arrest Hannah Ahern after seeing her spit towards a police van.

Portland Detective Erik Kammerer did not have probable cause to direct officers to arrest a woman for spitting on the ground in front of a police riot control van during a downtown protest and counterdemonstration in 2019, a federal judge has ruled.

Spitting is not a crime under state law, U.S. Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You found.
