Reports are all over social media that the police stopped up to 700 bikes and searched everyone for drugs and confiscated the toys.

Must have taken a bucket load of personnel to make that undertaking, but the Police Minister said he was unaware of the situation.

Any reports from the Horse's mouth as they say?

How does it go, if u r not a crim u got nothing to fear,

LMFAO.

WTF a segment less than 2 minutes long? Gee, there must have been some serious editing before that story went to air. I bet there were many pissed off people with lots to say to the media about the whole situation.  I feel for the riders and the children who had their day ruined by Herr Newman.

I spoke with one of the TOJ members here is Bris that does spanner work for me. it's all BS and urban myth. No one got pulled over.

You don't even have to ride a bike to end up going to jail in Queensland thanks to Campbell Newman and his Government with the new laws they have brought in, have a read of this article for all you non believer's out there this is true not fiction.

Joshua Shane Carew sat in solitary confinement for 15 days in Bisbane's Watchhouse where there is no TV, no radio, just a basin, toilet and a concrete bed with one blanket. He is now in Queensland’s Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre. His wife and two young children Holly (4) and Jake (2) have missed him terribly over Christmas and he has not been allowed to phone them or have them visit him.

He has been in jail for the past 21 days, and has only recently been allowed a shower and had not had a change of clothes for 15 days. He was told by QLD Chief Justice Carmody, when refusing him bail, to reflect on the cost to his family over the festive season.

Justice Carmody has been assigned by the Newman government to handle bikies’ court cases.

So, exactly what crime was Joshua Carew alleged to have committed that deserved denial of bail and such harsh emotional punishment without trial?

Well, it’s hard to believe, but you see Joshua runs a pizza shop in Nambour, QLD, and he works long hours with his wife who bakes the pizzas and he delivers them.

Unfortunately three weeks ago Joshua was delivering an order to the Yandina pub.

Now, Yandina is a pretty small town and the person he was delivering the pizza to happened to be his brother-in-law, a Rebels bikie, who was noticed by police accepting the pizza on the pub’s surveillance video.

Joshua didn’t stay for a drink as he had lots of rapidly cooling pizzas yet to be delivered but he unknowingly had just committed a serious offence under Premier Campbell Newman’s new anti-association laws.

He was arrested by Sgt Wade Lee of the Sunshine Coast Police and placed in solitary confinement, where he sat wondering what the hell he did wrong.

In refusing bail Justice Carmody said bikies would "have to be living under a rock'' if they did not know they faced a mandatory six-month jail term for simply "having a beer with three or more mates".

But Joshua didn’t have a beer, they were not his “mates”, he is not a bikie, has never belonged to a bikie club, he has never owned a bike and vehemently denies ever having dealt in drugs, yet he is likely to spend the next six months in jail because his brother-in-law decided to order a pizza.

It appears the right of freedom of association, afforded us under our Constitution, can lead to some pretty serious jail time. His case comes up for mention on January 6.

I copped plenty of flak a month back for suggesting Campbell Newman’s legislation was undemocratic and could lead to abuse by police and the judiciary.

Perhaps this is just one example of what I feared.

[NB: Before closing the Nambour pizza shop, and rather than have all the ingredients go to waste, almost 300 pizzas were offered to the most needy. They didn’t last long.]
