No seriously. If you were a cop maybe you 'couldn't tell the difference ". Pay is the same, and you don't have to spend your time harassing gang members who can find out where your family live?

Think they’re safe never seen them riding V-rods. Be interesting to see how this plays out in reality as there’s nothing to stop you painting your bike red, blue or whatever relevant colour to achieve same goal.

And rightly so. They deserve everything that is coming to them! Old fuckers!

It's hard to get excited about the proposed law changes. The cops have already got draconian laws they can use but don't. For instance any group of three people or more who cause anybody to fear for the safety of themselves or their property can be declared an unlawful assembly. (That's from memory, but that's the gist.)

If there's twenty gang members causing post menopause pessimists to fear for their safety the cops won't be doing anything until they outnumber the gang members, and that ain't likely to happen anywhere more than a few Ks from Queen Street.

At best we'll likely get some new rushed and badly written legislation which will then be filed somewhere the paper slowly turns yellow. At worst some enthusiastic idiot will misuse it.

Still, it was nice to see them crush some P Rods

They all said it wouldn’t work, here’s some learned chap who made it work. And some interesting comments from top cops to those that were reluctant to enforce….

An interesting step forward in enforcement. But how long before this tool extends perhaps to rural folk filming us on a Sunday backroad scratch session…
