So what you are saying then, is the Government & police allready have you trained. Because of what they said in an artical in 07, you have not attended a ride? Well trained little boy aren't you.

I knew the implications of attending this run and did so in support of this country being a FREE country and I will determin when and where I ride my bike not the police farce or the politicians that determin there agenda.

bikers in s.a. UNITE!! OUTLAW CLUBS , SOCIAL CLUBS ,GET EVERY HARLEY RIDER IN SA..PUT ON THE BIGGEST POCKER RUN EVER!..1000 + HARLEYS, RIDE UP TO 20-30 COPS @ A ROADBLOCK AND RIDE AROUND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER "EUREKA!"
PS..IF I CAN STILL AFFORD ONE I'LL HAVE A CAN OF JIM BEAM FOR YUS..
pss..what would bush think if he visited no shooting, no bikes,no pitbuls,terrorists walking the streets?

I decided to add my 2 bobs worth to the Bikie story here in Adelaide....

Mr Rann you have rolled out the "bikie" issue once again, which many of us believe is a bit of a smoke screen from other more important issues. The Police and the Courts have the laws to deal with the bikie problem already. The proposed Bikie Bill is a bit too broad and there is a risk of officials using this law to target other people in the community. What annoys me and other people who are not "Bikies" but "Bikers" and ride a Harley Davidson motorcycle or other large look alike bikes we are being harrassed by overzealous Police Officers who are trying to catch a "Bikie". This has not only happened to me, but to other people that live in Port Pirie. So if this is happening in our city it must be happening all over the State. You only have to read bike riding Forums Mr Rann and you will find there are a lot of voters out there Mr Rann who are more than annoyed with the harrassment that is being foistered on innocent people and you are getting the blame. Concentrate on sorting out the Gang of 49 who seem to be harrassing the general public a lot more than the majority of the bike riding community. Very annoyed Labor voter.

Problem is though Mr Rann won't be reading any bike forums.

not a bad read

Good news at last, just got home and there was a letter waiting for me from the Manager Expiation Notice Branch:

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the Commisioner of Police, I advise that my enquiries are completed an I am now in a position to reply to your correspondence regarding Expiation Notice D7611XXXX.

Your submission has been considered together with the relevant documentation, and after due consideration of all the circumstances the notice had been withdrawn.

 

Bob gets a win, and it proves the point that the cops are not serving out justice to SA bikers. Just because we love and ride Harleys, don't take shit from those that are sworn to protect & serve, or is that HARASS & DISCRIMINATE.

I hope everyone else that got fined & defected fought it.

End of rant.

Regards Bob

Bob,

That's fantastic news!

Achtung........It rarely gets better.

VICTORIA'S police chief is warning SA's tough new anti-bikie gang laws will lead to increased conflict between police and bikies and drive them underground.

Police Commissioner Christine Nixon says the laws will "merely drive the visible appearance of organised motorcycle gangs (OMCGs) underground, where the criminal activity will continue to function".
"Rather than displacing OMCG organised crime activity from SA, it is likely the new laws will increase police-OMCG conflict," she said.

"Victoria Police does not support proposals intended to deal with OMCG members in a similar manner to that of terrorist groups by prohibiting groups and individual association between declared persons."

In her submission to a federal parliamentary crime inquiry, Ms Nixon also says the SA laws would probably breach Victoria's charter of human rights.

SA Police has disagreed with the comments, with a spokeswoman for Police Commissioner Mal Hyde saying police believed "our legislation will be highly effective in disrupting serious criminal behaviour".

'"SAPOL can't understand Chief Commissioner Nixon's opinion these criminals will be driven underground, as serious organised criminals already go to great lengths to keep their criminal activities secret," she said.

Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission also has questioned the effectiveness of the SA laws.

Bikie gang expert Dr Arthur Veno has called for an independent crime commission in SA to oversee the implementation of the new laws.

Their views are contained in submissions to the inquiry into laws to outlaw serious and organised crime groups. The committee is expected to take evidence in Adelaide early next month.

State Parliament passed the new laws last month after an extensive debate and protests from lawyers and civil libertarians.

The tough anti-bikie laws make it an offence for outlaw motorcycle club members or people with criminal records to meet more than six times a year. They also significantly widen police powers to deal with bikie gangs.

A recent bikie funeral in Adelaide for Gypsy Jokers president Wayne "Chiller" McGrath, attended by more than 300 people, might have been declared illegal under the new laws, which are yet to come into effect.

The Queensland commission submission says legislation proscribing specific groups may be useful in disrupting the activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs but banning association among certain individuals is likely to be subject to extensive legal challenge.

"Persons may be sent to jail not for what they do but for who they know," it says.

Dr Veno, from Monash University's school of political and social inquiry, in a joint submission with Dr Julie van den Eynde, from Queensland University's faculty of social and behavioural science, says the new legislation has no checks and balances.

He said the only possible recourse was to put some balance back in the system and to establish an independent commission against corruption to oversee the implementation of the legislation.

A spokeswoman for Attorney-General Michael Atkinson, Jayne Stinson, said the Government made no apology for taking a tough stance and adopting all necessary measures to eradicate criminals from the streets.

"An ICAC is not necessary," she said. "SA has a comprehensive system of anti-corruption bodies.

"These include the Police Complaints Authority, the Auditor-General and an Ombudsman with the powers of a royal commission as well as whistleblowers legislation."

Wow, Big Chrissie Nixon, Speakin out against the Bikie Bill.

You may be feminising the force, but at least you're looking out for my "right to ride"

theres a thousand members on forum do a survey on prangs and deaths youll get the right average with no scooters and off roaders you can challenge publicly any government propaganda ,then get on air waves using your forum stats and challenge the lying pricks .the radio will give you air as forum spokesmen thus you have started a fight back campaign .ive done it on other issues soon as you go public wth some facts youd be surprised how the public opinion will side with common sense ,if you can get a good spokesman

The Australian Monday July 7 page 5 has an article related to this subject.

that truely sucks......those laws are going way too far...... surely if they were that organised then they should be able to tell the difference between an ordinary bunch of blokes and a 'gang' of outlaw bikers......

They think we all look the same mate.......this is just a glimpse of the future for us....even my mates in a CMC were photographed and regestered so no one is safe....
