Ban on gang patches - Lilith7 - 24-04-2024 There seem to be several difficulties with this not so brilliant idea. They just seem to have been in too much of a rush to appear tough & haven't bothered with the details. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350254942/lawyers-libertarians-and-black-power-speak-against-controversial-gang-patches Quote:"Through the Gangs Legislation Amendment Bill, the Government planned to introduce four new powers to “crack down” on gangs: RE: Ban on gang patches - alpha111 - 24-04-2024 Will the ban include the Fire Brigade Staff, Salvation Army Officers, Correction Officers and indeed Police themselves?

Destiny church regalia should probably fall into the former though.

Modeled as it is on the Mongrel Mob uniform... ![]() RE: Ban on gang patches - Lilith7 - 25-04-2024 We can only hope Destiny church will be affected...but it seems unlikely. The whole thing is slightly worrying really - they effectively want to stipulate what can & can't be worn, & while most of us would oppose idiots wearing nazi symbols & similar, I think gang patches are helpful since they're easily seen so anyone wanting to avoid them can. RE: Ban on gang patches - Zurdo - 25-04-2024 And they want the Police to uphold these new laws...but won't give them a pay rise, or any real means to be able to do this gang patch thing. A lone cop pulling over half a dozen gang members and telling to hand over their patches ? It's not going to happen.

A lone cop pulling over half a dozen gang members and telling to hand over their patches ? It's not going to happen. Any cop trying to do that would be in trouble fairly quickly. They're extremely good at slash & burn, cutting this & that, but they really don't seem to have given any thought to possible consequences. And really, any govt should be doing that, surely. |
