do you agree with anti gang laws?

Over here in qld Australia the government initiated a crackdown on biker gangs..... Their not allowed to congregate in a group, wear their colours or actually be found to be a member of a gang.... Some motorcycle enthusiasts have been inconvenienced by these laws but not to the extent that people of a non white culture ate profiled and accused of criminality..... Actual biker gangs or as we call them bikies infect our communities with all types of corruption, intimidation, drugs and other sordidness..... Then they do a charity run for the cancer council and we're sposed to appreciate them.... More like bow down..... Cops are corrupt too and some cops consider themselves to be the biggest gang in the world.... Hense my admiration for serpico.... Is it as wrong to target a criminal organisation as it is to racially profile someone.... The war on drugs is a travesty but its so much deeper than that.... And yet a minority in a community or culture commits a crime and the entire community/culture suffers the wrath of the authority...... Any thoughts?

J. B A N A N A S:
Gang injunctions run the risk of possibly inconveniencing or offending civilians who aren't in a gang and just happen to be nearby. However, if you're dumb enough to dress in gang colors in a neighborhood that's so dangerous that injunctions are necessary maybe you need a rough wake up call.

Injunctions are basically a restraining order here in the United States, will they absolutely stop gang activity? Of course not, but personally I'd rather be able to take my family or go work out at a public park without a bunch of gang bangers freely hanging out everywhere, strapped and constantly itching to put in work.

Gangs are a menace to society, but the concept of an extended family, comraderie, knowing someone got ya back, being down to defend each other like ya blood kin, feeding ya fams, belonging to something when ya come from a place of hardship, the love, honor, respect for peers n elder members, Just like one big family, that's dope.... Bit the negative that effect the wider community n innocent standers by far outweighs the positive aspects.... Would you want ya kids being forced to pish drugs? Would you appreciate someone telling you to bow down and making you feel inferior.... Some gangs start out of love, others from a place of self defence, but just like everything in this world, when power, ego and money are thrown in the mix it just gets corrupted... You got people willing to toss up they own blood for status... You got people willing to kill just to prove emselves... That's not to be admired....
