Bleedin' Qld Copperrrss..!!

I thought the Red Devils were the RAFs skydiving display team... :o :o  So.. no holding hands in the air then lest the Old Bill swoop in to break 'em up :D :D
 
If the one percenters weren't riding bikes everyone here would probably be applauding the crackdown.
Having said that, we haven't got a right wing Nazi like Campbell down here in tassie (although he was born here) (private school tosser) and our coppers are pretty relaxed in my view.
 
We had a pretty huge new years eave party 20 years ago at my place and a couple of blokes turned up with Mob Shitter patch's on.Nice enough blokes,didn't know them,never heard of the patch before or since.Think they were from the Cessnock area?

Probably a WA club Davo, we have our local Albany bikies "Gods Garbage" affectionately known locally as Gods Cabbage, but not to their face :D
Don't like the 1% mentality but also don't like the laws being passed to ban them either.
 
Illegal assembly laws are nothing new in Australia. Standard right wing headline grabbing "seen to be doing something" bullshit. In the ?70s the Court govt in West Oz made it illegal for 3 or more people to congregate together in public. People wandering out of cinemas etc were warned to break up into smaller clusters or be arrested. It was much the same in Qld at the time. It was all about stopping protests against the government. This time it is "crime fighting" with the bikies in the sights. The banks and other financial institutions that can really hurt us never seem to get in trouble, something to do with election funding. Bikies are their own worst enemy, an easy target for a campaign like this, everybody hates them already.
People vote these shitheads in. Democracy it is called.
 
Anyone remember the Protest March's in Brisbane,you needed permit and they never got the nod,so here was the nice big orderly march going on.Long lens TV camera focused on the front.They arrive at the Police line and 2 BIG coppers walk up.One looks left the right and then wacks the lead protester square on the head with one of those teeny tiny battens they had back then.He goes down and all hell erupt all caught on film.Not a problem back then,Joh was god.
 
Remember them! I was arrested in one, but not for being in the protest itself, we'd turned the march from Uni to Roma Street into a pub crawl so were maggoted by the time we got there...... we all got arrested for drunk and disorderly in public, all released later that day with no charges, went straight back to the RE of course :)
 
I'm not a lawyer but.............

That legislation just invites a challenge, seems to have been written by a spiteful 15 year old.
Classic bike rallies could be in strife?

I particularly like the bit about superceeding all other laws, that is a doozy (7. Sentencing (2). (a)).

I also like the bit about cooperating with the law enforcement authorities - that should be renamed the 'suicide pact' if you happen to be a member of a bikie gang.


 
just read through this, how very depressing. not stopping is a very good way of not stopping for the fuckers, as long as you have a slightly modified number plate.Also, here in good olde England there are so few traffic cops any more, riding like a complete twat has never been easier.
Fuck the law.

    FFF
 
I haven't read the legislation but I bet its struck off after its challenged in The High Court,blind Freddy would expect it doesn't pass The Anti Discrimination laws.You cannot have one law for all and another especial for Bikies.Plenty of laws available to go after there stupid shit.How hard would it be,they know who they are,they know where they are,its a bit of a diversion from other stuff in the Parliament

Actually, the first protester to be hit by the copper was a little curly haired girl who was literally about half the size of the copper. And she certainly did go down, followed by plenty of others. No orders to disperse, actually no discussion at all, just the coppers waited until the head of the march was under the Grey Street Bridge then whack whack whack.
And every TV station in the country showed it in slow motion over and over and over that night.Never any real discussion of any action against the coppers, who at about that time were allowed (actually required) to remove their number badges when attacking sorry dealing with University student protesters. About then was when I started wondering if I wanted to live in Queensland any more.
Was apparently worse in Paris in the 60s, gendarmes would beat students unconscious and throw them in the Seine, nobody ever knew how many died that way.

My first trip to Queensland was in 1979 with a couple of mates. We booked into a hotel and went out for tea and and got a few beers to take back. We had to push through a large group of protesters and talk our way through an armed police cordon to get back to the hotel. We had no idea what was going on. At midnight the heavy machinery showed up and they started in with wrecking balls on the Bellevue Hotel which was across the road. This was a Friday night and we had front row seats to the circus which carried on all weekend. Another one of Joh's popular decisions was behind the demolition.

Gold!! :D :D
 
Don't bother me none, it's still cat and mouse for me

but it seems to be a bit disconcerting for the old ladies wearing dresses  :LOL:

 
You'll be fine Cosi, the wallopers have been issued with these, if you fit underneath they know you're not a bikie and they can't let you in the squad car for a ride anyway.....

interesting you say that Vince,
In 2009 one club became SA's first Gang "Declared Under the Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Act 2008", the government ran full page ads in the local paper etc. made a big hoohaa, song and dance at the time.
I remember being rather cynical and thinking the Bikie Law was used as a distraction as the Gov were up to a lot of other stuff. rest is history as they say.
