not sure about Oregon,
but years ago in Washington I got a ticket from SPD for not having my drivers side mirror on (was knocked off). I just bought a new one and was on the way home to install it. Had a receipt and had not been away from the store for more than 5 minutes before the cop ticketed me as a "reminder" to install it. I suggest you get it fixed asap.
