Hahaha. Yeah, never been in trouble in my life, but now
I'm a goddamned soul-sucking criminal.

Note: Multinomah county (where Portland actually is) is not
the same, they actually have a .08 rule, so if you go downtown
and have a couple beers, then drive into Washington county,
you're only a criminal once you cross the county line.

Unusual. I've never heard of traffic laws being defined at any other
level that the state level.

It appears some states allow counties to do that sort of thing, and
according to this source one Montana county used that authority to adopt
open container laws:

But I can't find anything to support the claim that Washington county in
Oregon has the alleged law. Not that it doesn't exist, but I'm finding it
difficult to verify with online searches.
