Sit Lie Law under creative attack

I took this picture last week on my way to the building I work at walking from the MAX stop.

I love the creativity of using basic construction materials and old clothing to fashion a "protest humanoid"
Very recognizable and no one risks getting arrested because they were sitting where they don't belong.

Essentially the Sit Lie Law allows the police or the Portland Business Alliance security force to tell a homeless person to move along if they feel the person is harrassing people and or disrupting business.
They aren't supposed to harrass people that aren't homeless, and those that aren't bothering people. Of course that is a matter of individual perspective now isn't it.

The sign reads "Sit Lie Law is a Lie".
