The state constitution and precedent based on it may provide additional protections that the federal one does not. (It does in Washington, for instance, as the city of Seattle learned when they tried to inspect people’s garbage and fine them for not recycling or composting.) I’m not familiar with the nature of the situation in Oregon.
