Ross Kemp extreme world: Australian bike gangs tonight 9pm

[Supermoto_Fan]

Really enjoying and found this series interesting with Memphis, Calais and Honduras etc.

Tonight it's Australian bike gang culture, I didn't even know that they have a problem with bike gangs down under

Worth a watch if nothing else is on, sky1 I believe [/u]

Nope

So every state in Australia but one has a new law that bikers can't ride in more than a group of 3...

We should have this law, Harley Riders shouldn't be allowed to ride together, everyone else is free to do as they wish.

It will be another case of " It is all kicking off here, I am outta here".

Except I don't think the new laws affect just Harley riders, it seems to be any bike gang/club/society.

I'm with Ross on this one - innocent until proven guilty.

Can't believe what I'm watching, associate in groups of more than 3 and your a criminal regardless of your own history, just because someone with u has a conviction. It's a very steep way of dealing with it, they're basically labelling them terrorists just for wanting to ride with there mates and go for a beer.

Is there a link to where those of us who do not subscribe to Mr Murdock's channels can watch this?

I went on a Police rideout in New Zealand and ended up at a Headhunters club house in West Auckland. It was down a country path and they had a bus blocking the entrance.

Was about as close to mad max as ive ever been. Was about one in the morning and was a guy welding stuff in a barn. Very surreal and im pretty sure my holiday insurance didnt cover me being in a gang pad.

I watch it anyway but didn't know it was a biker gang one.

I think Ross Kemp's docu's are fantastic, pretty niche too, nobody else seems to go out and do that kinda stuff and get the kinda insight from all the different perspectives involved.

I like his stuff, he seems to cover both sides pretty well, one thing the Oz programme showed me was that the UK isn't the only Nanny state, in fact at times I thought it showed the UK as not half as bad in comparison to some other so called democracies, but then I saw all the great sunshine in Oz and thought fu@k it, I'd still like to live there!

The bit that made me laugh was the last couple of minutes when he was talking to the ex copper turned college lecturer or something (not entirely sure what) and he was saying that the bikers are portrayed as the main criminal gangs but in something like 700 arrests of bikers they only confiscated about 20 million or so dollars when the entire criminal gangs cost upwards of 500million, so it's not really the bikers anymore but they are being picked on because they are easily identifiable.

Just got around to watching this today. Couldn't quite believe that these laws had been approved by somebody.


I was definitely on the "bikies" side of the argument, but then I wasn't sure how much of that was down to riding myself, so asked my mum what she thought of it cos I know she watches them too, and she said she was completely on their side too. She is completely indifferent to bikes, biking and bikers.


So it wasn't just me then.


But playing devils advocate, I wonder how heavily biased the editing was.
It could well be very impartial, and for the most part I would argue that Ross Kemp does a great job of portraying both sides of the argument without prejudice or bias, (take the Ross Kemp on Pirates one for example). But then he is obviously a biker himself and so could that have affected it. I'd like to think not.

But then I'd also like to think we don't live in a world where a 1st world, developed and civilised (allegedly) country has laws that can close your business down or even jail you solely for who you associate with regardless of what you do, and deny you the right to appeal or even see the evidence being used against you.
