Slowly but surely, the rights of people are being chipped away

Legal first: no warrant needed to raid Sydney Hells Angels

Police will no longer need a warrant to raid the Sydney headquarters of the Hell's Angels outlaw bikie gang, in a legal first for NSW.

In the Supreme Court today, Registrar Chris Bradford found the Restricted Premises Act 1943 applied to the clubhouse in Guildford, with the exception of a shed on the western side of the Broughton Street property.

Gangs Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Mal Lanyon said it was the first time in NSW that such a judgment had been obtained for an outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse.

"To put the impact of this declaration at its most basic level, it allows police to enter the clubhouse ²⁴⁄₇ without a warrant to ensure compliance with the Restricted Premises Act," he said in a statement issued after the court ruling.

An address can be declared to be restricted premises on various grounds, including if drunken, disorderly or indecent conduct is occurring, or if drugs or liquor has been unlawfully sold or supplied.

It can also be classified as restricted if criminals and/or their associates attend the address.

Det Supt Lanyon said the declaration would help police monitor the activities of the Sydney-based Hell's Angels.

He said that since May 2007, police had arrested 877 people and laid 1,961 charges as a part of Operation Ranmore, targeting criminal activities by motorcycle gangs.

The offences ranged from assault and affray to participation in a criminal group.

To go even further with this, it is now considered acrime to associate with any MC members or known affiliates in Australia. Your average Joe can get arrested just for keeping company with a MC member.

Chipping away the rights of organised gangs is something I and every other decent human being with half a brain supports.

I think all bikers should be tagged.

Maybe you should discuss this "sleight against the freedom to bully, beat, intimidate and shoot anyone you see fit" with Robo the conspiracy retard over at 24.

There are only four types of people who would willingly associate with bikers:-

A - Fellow criminals
B - Ass licking cheerleaders
C - The intellectually challenged
D - Deluded patriot retards who think roaming gangs of scumbags is one of the things that makes America great.
