An Oregon man has been jailed for 30 days for collecting water in three ponds on his property. Gary Harrington argued that while a 1925 law gives the city of Medford the right to all local “core sources of water,” that surely didn’t include the rain falling on his ranch. But a court disagreed. “I’m sacrificing my liberty so we can stand up as a country,” Harrington said as he entered jail.
