Queensland got itself a new set of laws - The bikie laws.
They say: 'We've drawn the line on criminal bikie gangs'
How they limit bikie activities in the community:
- People from bikie gangs are not allowed to work in/own a tattoo business.
- Bikies showing their club colors/logos are not allowed to be in any restaurant/bar that serves alcohol.
Some new offences created:
- There can never be 3 or more bikie members together at any given time in any public place
- Recruiting new members, that's illegal.
- Its illegal to be at the own clubhouse, you will be arrested if found there.
What the police gets:
- The police gets extra impounding powers
- If one of the new bikie offences was committed together with a motorcycle, this bike will be impounded & crushed.
- You have the right to remain silent. Unless you belong to a motorcycle gang.
- You have the right to privacy (i.e. searches). Unless you belong to a motorcycle gang.
Here is their ad (with my edits in brackets

"Tough new bikie laws for a safer Queensland (Police Service)
Queensland's (extremely) tough new laws target illegal (and legal, both the same under the law) activities of criminal bikie gangs, not law-abiding bike riders. These laws protect all Queenslanders (with the exception of bikie gang members) and our lifestyle (except riding bikes and joining clubs). We are targeting these gangs and their involvement in drug*s, violence and intimidation (as well as riding bikes and being together in clubs). This is the end of the line for criminal gangs (and non criminal gangs, again, same thing under the eyes of the law)."
(This was put in action at 3am in Queensland)
What do you guys think about this?
