If you did wear gang clothes and werent in the gang, you should be locked up for being a knob anyway :

Jeeez some thread debates are taken beyond the ridiculous as usual.....
Can't please everybody as they say but thank goodness something is finally being done is all I'll say.
Oh yer I let my 16 and 10yr old sons know they are classified as being in a gang now wearing their favourite team colours at the v8's, football etcetc so be on the look out for being scrutinised.......
but don't worry you can sleep at night as does your old man with a clear conscience as if the feds get a warrant to check out our stockade we have nothing to hide so they are just doing their job which is good for us law abiding citizens.

They do hand out F'ing big patches they wear on their jackets. I reckon that would be dead set a good starting point. Trying wearing a set of Hells Angels colours into their club house if you aren't a member :

Anti association laws aren't easy to implement, but it makes the pollies feel like they are doing something.

The problem is not whether we twist it, the problem is whether the police force, government and courts will twist it and expand the interpretation of the laws beyond what they were originally intended for, which may be too broad to begin with.

Just because you say it is not the same, doesn't mean it can't or won't be interpreted to mean the same by those in authority.

Im sure judges are smart enough to know what the law was made for, and im sure the police are not going to be using these laws for people not breaking the law

you just made my day.
Having had a laugh ,i must say its a real bad road our Governments are going down now.
we dont need new laws we need Police to do there jobs properly , the Police minister several years ago said ,(and i quote)WE HAVE DROPPED THE BALL)
REFERING to a question asked by a writer on how had bike gangs and UNDERWORLD figures of Aussie,Asian italian and Middle Eastern groupes,gained so much wealth and Power.
We will have no rites at all soon,
We need our Police to tackle real crime and drugs head on instead of just raising revenue catching drivers for being 10kmh over the limit

Exactly, as has been said, no action will be taken until the gang has been declared illegal, to be declared illegal there must be substanciating evidence.

Such evidence could be the combined 1000+ serious convictions that was reported by the police in regards to one such group...how many serious offences do you and your mates need before you might be considered anti-social.
I dont think they'll bother with FPV supporters somehow.
Evidence in SA confirms the only other group in SA with more convictions is in Yatala Prison.

Wheres the need for fortified club rooms if theres no violence involved..Does the Lexus centre have 20ft high walls surrounding it?

As for keeping good old Aussie gangs over ethnic groups, read the names of those involved in violence over the last 3wks..
The reason for the recent increase in the level of violence shown by some of these gangs can be linked to the influx of non-anglo members.

I dont have a problem with social get togethers if thats all they are.

Then again perhaps the law makers may have it all wrong.

In all honesty, you cant stop any illegal things happening. Whether it be "bikies" or 2 guys behind the train station, its always gonna happen.

No, its nothing to do with race, its simply a case of getting a message across and as it turns out some people have a way of sending the message more effectively than others.

Let me say, i am not for the laws by any means, if groups put themselves in a situation through drawing attention, then these results mustn't come as a surprise surely.
