The Nat's gang policy hits a bit of opposition

[harm_less]

Personally I think gangs should be declared terrorist organisations and treat them as such.

A very simplistic approach. The problems start when you try to define the status of 'gangs'. A group of motorcyclists with stylised identification such as the Ulysses club? A cultural ethnic group with authentic tattoos such as a kapa haka club? An association of ex-military comrades with identifying clothing? A religious group wearing traditional garb?

Mark Mitchell has already accused a Maori guy of being a gang member due to his having traditional facial tattoos https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e...R2WXPB2Z4/
Like so many of National's electioneering policies this has been very poorly thought through.
